Why do you think there are more female than male bloggers (according to a 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.
