   [1]Marcotte:

     What I also failed to understand was how much McEwan and I would
     stick out. I was aware that I didn't exactly fit the image people
     have of bloggers who join campaigns -- the stereotype being
     30-something nerdy young white men who wear khakis and obsess over
     crafting their [2]Act Blue lists. I wasn't aware that not fitting
     the image would attract so much negative attention. In fact, I
     mostly saw this all as a baby step in the direction of diversity,
     since McEwan and I differed from the stereotype mostly by being
     female and by being outspoken feminists.

   Must suck to be a victim.
