Women and blogging

 

Is it just my imagination, or is there still conflict about this topic?  Ezra at Pandagon, for example, claims that women blog less than men.

 

Not from where I’m sitting in Salon blogs – and certainly not in the blogrings I’ve visited.

 

What about you?  What do you think is different about women and blogging versus men and blogging?

 

Why do you think there is a much smaller percentage of women bloggers in the Top 100 Blogs?

 

Why do you think there are more female than male bloggers (according to a Pew Perseus* report this past year), yet there is a continuing misperception that women blog less than men?

 

Is it the style of writing used by women which impacts perception or their content, the subject matter about which they write?

 

And why are some folks rather terse on this topic?  The fact that some folks are rather hostile in their responses tells me there’s an underlying issue that merits exploration.  So does the fact that this issue keeps popping up without satisfactory agreement across bloggers and readers.

 

I’m all ears.  Fill me in.

*Perseus Blog Survey; the Pew Internet and American Life Project published a report recently on content creation, reflecting that women were nearly as likely to create content as men (44% to 45%).  This content may include blogs but may not be exclusive to blogs.

Technosexuality

 

Oooh.  Aaah.  Yeah. 

 

A technosexual.

 

Shivers run down my spine, gives me gooseflesh thinking about it.

 

Bring it on, baby, Bluetooth me.
