Not enough women blogging?

Off and on for a while now, there have been rumblings that there are not enough women bloggers out there. For the most part, I think that the “problem” of not enough women blogging is just a figment of the imagination of women’s activists. If we really want equality, we need to stop singling out the women in every situation, and blogging is no different.

So basically, I have become tired of the argument, and have generally ignored posts about the topic lately. But this post from Rory Blyth is one I just couldn’t ignore:

It isn’t so much that there aren’t a lot of women blogging (there are), but that there aren’t many female tech bloggers…Before anybody goes and tries to come up with a solution to the “problem” of too few female tech bloggers, determine first if it is a problem. I’m not saying that it isn’t, but it’s foolish to assume without weighing differences between the sexes that it is.

Well said.
