She said, "What do you think of the term In My Brazen Opinion? I'm tired of being humble." Well, something like that. When I read her DM I actually took my fingers off the keyboard and stared at her sentence... then I wrote back, "I LOVE IT!"

I do love it. I am going to use it a lot. You should, too. Yes, you should.

Here's what Kathleen says on her Social Media/Marketing blog:

"...I thought about another self-inflicted put-down used so often on the Internet: IMHO. This acronym translates to 'In My Humble Opinion.' Go search Twitter right now for these four letters. You'll pull up a string of tweets on everything from Colin Firth's performance in The King's Speech to the complexity of bioethics... all of them qualified with IMHO.

"(Interestingly enough, IMHO is not limited to women users. I'd love to have the time to sample a cross-section of tweets and find out which gender uses the acronym most.) I'm fed up with people not taking responsibility for their opinions. As I posted today:

And so, I'm lobbing this out there - let's make it a movement, a hastag! #IMGO! Stop qualifying your opinions and be brazen about them. If we can't lay claim to our own opinions, what can we lay claim to?"

Indeed, Kate! From now on it's In My Brazen Opinion for me. Ladies...are you with me? I'm talking to Mary and Lena and Robbi and AmyK and Donna and Chloe and Toby and Marianne and Nettie and Michele and Holly and ALL the women who read Lip-sticking (including you, Caren).

In my brazen opinion, women need to stand up and be counted for our amazing creativity, our intelligence, our friendship, our beauty, and our writing. Be brazen - be counted. We owe it to our daughters, don't we?
