I appreciate it. But you should know that Thursday Next my copublisher is also another smart woman blogger and a ferociously smart one at that. Our other front pager Pale, is also a smart woman blogger. We have bloggers of both genders and the active ones seem to split 50/50.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1215','Bionic'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1215','Bionic','Hey Scott,\r\nThanks for the kudos calling me a smart woman blogger.

That's the only conclusion I can come to. There are THOUSANDS of women blogging in Canada, many of whom were nominated (and won) in the recent CBAs. They might not be political bloggers, but they're still smart as hell. The blogosphere isn't REMOTELY male-dominated. In fact, many of the blogs that got people excited about blogging in general are/were written by female authors. Go to an SXSW or a BlogHer conference and try denying their presence. Perhaps you need to reframe your statements somehow. Maybe just say, "Only 17% of the blogs I read are by women." Then you'd have the truth. And that's your issue, not ours.
