Don't get made, get blogging.

He cheated on you, dumped you, then told his friends you were a lousy lay. Thanks to blogs, some women aren't spending nights crying over one faithless man anymore.

Welcome to the high-tech version of toilet-door graffiti - blogging where people vent their frustration about their relationships in cyberspace. Remember the days when they would arm themselves with a marker, scrawl obscenities about their cheating, ugly ex on a public toilet door and add his phone number so people could call him for "a good time"? They no longer make a beeline for a stinky toilet. Instead, they log on to a website like www.blogger.com to sign up for a webpage of thier own and start writing about their disastrous love life.

Unlike the ubiquitous toilet-door tactic, blogs are far more widely read and easily accessed. Once their blogs become a hot topic on meta-blog like tommorow.sg, these women may even become mini celebrities overnight.

Surfing popular meta-blogs like tomorrow .sg, forums where people gather to discuss blogs, you'll find stories ranging form toe-curlers about physical abuse and unwanted pregnancies to hilarious grouses about the apposite sex and their cheapskate ways. These is a raw honesty about their writing as the authors give a no-holds-barred account of their love adventures.

There is a new spirit of emancipation among young women who are wired into the internet. Maybe it's because it's the 21st century; maybe it's because women are learning to speaks their minds. But none of the female bloggers seem ashamed to air their dirty laundry in public, even though matters of the heart have traditionally been accorded more privacy.


The biggest draw is that you can do all this without ever changing out of your pyjamas. It helps that internet takes the pressure off people who relate to their stories in a less socially pressuring situation. You're in comfort of your own home where there are no social norms of boundaries to observe, so you might end up saying things you don't normally do.
