Almost a year ago, Reuter's Global Voices and Voices without Votes Editor Amira Hussaini, pitched a crazy idea for me. Something in the lines of having an all female website. Lady bloggeretts providing the content, that is not going to be "polluted" by male articles and views.

It might be a little bit biased. But in a world that is still oppressive towards women, women's issues, and women views, there's nothing wrong with promoting the word that's

And the idea of GirlyGator, was born... The first all-women aggregator having anyone and everyone who is interested to be hosted.

So far, I have added all the ladies on Qwaider Planet, Jordan blogs and a few from here and there. With the number of blogs listed there starting at 157 177 182 185 (and rising)

The site is still in Beta stage, and will take some time, but it's up, ready and running

If you know of any ladies who need to be there, Apply for them, or have them apply

Now, here's how you can help, we need:

A logo, button, badge
Send missing blogs to me
Spread the word

Hope you all enjoy it

Thanks again, Qwaider, for helping promote girl-blogging. I must say, tho, I like male input since I have NONE in my Jordanian off-line life.

YET, I won't have to think twice about writing about PMS :P

You're welcome, you totally deserve it

Batoul
YAAAAY :)

Kinzi
You're welcome, it's my pleasure to help out. Hopefully we'll push some of the ideas that really need support out there.
Males are still going to be there in many forms. But not on this site :), they don't have a say. Not even me

Summer
You're welcome, you're an asset to any site of course

ياسمين
Did you hve any doubts? :)

Jessyz
You're welcome, keep up the good work

Jad
Nope, I'll just call them "Guys who are in touch with their feminine side" :) Or more simply, "readers"

Vegueraz
You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it

Verbal Alchemy
Thanks a lot.

Whisperer
Sure, this is still beta, things will change quite a bit

Yaser
I'm glad you liked it. The content is certainly key to success, I'm certain the ladies will do their part

Nido
I'm glad you liked it :) Now, we just need to wait for Mariah to grow up, have her own blog so that we can add her :)

Laila
You're welcome, the honor is all mine

Kj#1
What are you talking about, the orange-slice is already a piece of the orange :)

KJ#2
What's wrong with being gay? If you want to be gay, it's your 7asheesh!

Thanks qwiader. I am in. I love the idea of not having those unhygienic, rude male bloggers poisoning our minds and lives with all that is macho and, according to them, virtuous.

About time.
