Because I never get a chance to talk to them. What ever happened to talking one on one with a person? Don't people look at each other and talk face to face anymore? Don't tell me, that it is inappropriate, talking?

Many bloggers are untrustworthy; male or female. It is just too easy to make up stuff when you can hide behind the anonymity of the blogosphere.__Honestly, I can't stand it!

So many people post great things on Amanda's blog, and it's very hard to find their blogs from it. :) A great thank-you for the link, and I hope to be visiting your site more often. I'm adding it to my feeds list. As Lauren and Trish already pointed out, this has been a great exercise in getting to know new blogs. I think I've added about ten. However, umm... my blogroll is heavily tilted towards the female side, but I have an excuse. I just got back into the world of blogs, and am rebuilding my link list. Since I've been talking mostly feminist things lately, I've been linking mostly feminist women. Oh dear, if I have to count... 25 Girls 7 Guys 6 Group Wow, the group blogs almost outweigh the guys. That's scary. I swear, it'll even out as soon as I find some more guys I like to read! :) Hi Hugo, nice to actually be able to put a blog to the name I see commenting on Mouse Words. :) I hate the blogger commenting system.

That first sentence should have said "...thought a lot about..." Oy. Long day. Obviously, I don’t think much about grammar either. That first sentence should have said “…thought a lot about…” Oy.

Counting only the non-group blogs (of which there are 2, both of which I'd say are guy-heavy) my blogroll is 47% male, 53% female. It's also only 9% gay, which would seem "about right" except for the fact that _I'm_ gay, and you'd think I'd do better than that. :) I have never (consciously) lot about breaking down my blogroll.

And I'll second what Lauren said. I've discovered a few more blogs to add to my rolls. It was pointed out by Antigone? Ophelia Payne? on XXBlog that these debates are, ironically, good for our traffic, at least temporarily. I often look for new additions to my blogroll (via the Globe of Blogs, Underbloggers, and other blogrolls). I'll probably poach from yours--feel free to poach from mine. As the debate wasn't as cantankerous as it has been in the past, I'm hoping we see some more constructive discussion around it. Interesting posts, Hugo. And I’ll second what Lauren said.

Only 23% of my blogroll is female, not counting mixed-gender group blogs. Of course, that's also counting all five of Joel's blogs separately, but still. On another interesting note, I realized that 11% of the blogroll is gay or bisexual, which, pace Dr. Kinsey, is I think rather larger than the population as a whole.
