*The* Link Portal on Gender in the Blogosphere

Oh, please go check out Dr. B's 2 recent posts on this at Bitch Ph.D. - if only to see the comments by a wide number of people who didn't get the irony at all.

Here's the one where I learned about the debate:

A nice one from Andrea Buchanan, guestblogging on Buzz, Balls and Hype, November 2004:

Culture Cat has a list of blog entries that talk about gender issues in the blogosphere....

Thanks to Liz for including mine. I have several others on feminism and sexism, dating back to May 2002 (before that I was using another weblogging tool and have lost many of the posts). Do you really want all of these?

Actually, feminism and an aging white male's exploration of his forty years education, experience, misadventures, adventures in gender preferences and sexual consciousness raising is a lot of what my blog is about. That and the weaponized anthrax black-market.

I guess these links to interviews with people who transcend the subject matter and to posts relating obliquely but that fail to engage the subject as a matter for debate may not be particulalrly interesting. But they could be source material for people who like to fight about this stuff.

Check out the article on religion and blogging ("Blog is My Copilot") by Rachel Berenblat, in the fall 2004 issue of Bitch Magazine (in print; it's not online, I don't think) which discusses a number of gender issues in terms of who blogs about what kinds of religious issues and why.

I'd be flattered if you found any of these or other posts of use.

Clancy at Culture Cat has started a link portal to posts that address the question Freud would have asked,...

Clancy, here you go:

Some thoughts on blogging and gender from a female -
I think there are an equal number of female and male bloggers out there. I do not think men dominate in NUMBERS. However, I do think that they dominate in 'publication press'.

I think that this is because of the 'style' and material presented in men's blogs. Men don't share personal information in their blogs, or if they do, they keep it 'professional'(think of what it takes to get a typical man to 'chat'...). Most women enjoy chatting and tend to share more personal stuff on their blogs... unless it is strictly a professional blog for publication or of the like. This is not bad by any means, but I think that this contributes to this stigma of women treating blogs as 'online journals/diaries', and, as a result, they fall to the wayside when it comes time to seek out the 'serious blogs'.... but female blogs do get press, you have to admit.

Personal blogs are great for meeting people with different and/or similar interests, informally chatting about ideas and interests, and just surfing just to see what kind of people are out there in the world that you don't have a chance to meet while walking down the street... and these blogs sometimes have GREAT opinion boards and discourse... probably sometimes even better than the 'professional' blogs. Yet, their nature is not formal, so... the blog can only be seen as such - informal.

Good luck with your studies.

Just found your blog.
Subject of your dissertation sounds really cool. A long time ago, I did some informal research on rhetoric and ethos in asynchronous CMC, and I found an old published paper on rhetoric in the soc.feminist Usenet buy phentermine online forest buy viagra online green buy tramadol online and buy vicodin online the most expected team buy hyrocodone online of all times buy xanax online liverpool won the casino games online contest today free mp3 download ok newsgroup.
