The robust feminist blogosphere of 2016 is all but gone. Some of the creators are missing its perspective.<\/p>\n

It was 2016, and the future was female<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton was the first woman to lead a major party\u2019s presidential ticket, and readers browsing social media couldn\u2019t get very far before encountering headlines like \u201cClinton\u2019s Nomination: A Feminist Milestone?\u201d, \u201cForget This \u2018Hillary Is Unlikeable\u2019 Stuff,\u201d and \u201cDay 2 of the DNC: A Reminder That Hillary Is a Woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feministing, DoubleX and Jezebel<\/a> \u2014 the publishers of those stories \u2014 were part of a robust ecosystem of women-centric websites, where scores of writers reflected on the role of gender in Mrs. Clinton\u2019s campaign and what it would mean if Americans elected their first female president.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could pick apart every little thing,\u201d said the author Nona Willis Aronowitz<\/a>, who got her start as a feminist blogger in the 2000s. \u201cWe had this lens and a million people to talk to about it with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eight years later, as another female nominee vies for the presidency, there are far fewer women\u2019s outlets to meet the moment. Feministing, DoubleX, The Establishment, The Hairpin, Rookie and Broadly have folded<\/a>. Some of the surviving women\u2019s sites, like Bustle, don\u2019t focus as much on politics as they once did, and others, like Jezebel, have new owners<\/a> and shrunken staffs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

At the same time, Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, has downplayed her identity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the not-so-distant past, a candidate\u2019s reluctance to talk about her gender might not have mattered to the often sardonic outlets affectionately known as \u201clady blogs.\u201d If that cohort were around today, the feminist implications of Ms. Harris\u2019s candidacy probably would have been debated in essays and comments at more than a dozen outlets, regardless of campaign messaging.<\/p>\n
