I understand that the title “An Anti-Feminist Panhandles” is meant in jest but I want to point out that Laura asking for support to compensate her for all the time she puts into this blog is the farthest thing, from an ethical point of view, to panhandling. A beggar is appealing to our sympathy and our sense of charity to give him something of value when he has provided nothing of value to us or anyone else in return. This blog provides a great value, free of charge, to thousands if not tens of thousands of people. Laura puts much time and effort into the maintenance of this blog for the benefit of all of us, her readers. Laura needs some compensation for this great effort, this sacrifice on her part, in order to continue this blog. It is unjust to think that Laura should be doing this work for free, she deserves our support, she has earned our contributions to her. She is the furthest thing from a beggar; she is a tireless self-sacrificing servant nourishing the souls of us all. Now is the time for us to make a small sacrifice on behalf of her, donate now.

Thank you.
