Women as bloggers - a follow up

September 17th, 2005 by Bill

Yesterday, I mused about Are women better bloggers? Today, while muddling around from blog to blog, I came upon I’m not a girl, not yet a wino and what do I find?

They are organized!

- Blogs by Women

They even have a blog about blogs by women!

I thought, surely men have something like this too? But a quick google search revealed nada (no, I didn’t spend a lot of time looking). The closest I came to finding something that was at least in the ball park was a link to Of Blogs and Men. I confess, I have no idea what it was about. One glance and my eyelids were drooping. Washington. Politics. Earnest white guys in suits … Gad. I’m falling asleep just writing about it.

I’m almost tempted to say, “Guys! We need to organize our own Blogs for Men!” But then someone would want to have a logo and uniforms like sports teams and initiate monthly competitions for the top blogs, top posts, top comments … and contract someone to design little trophies and … well, you know.

I saw a post yesterday (Babbling Brooke) where Brooke had a list of things she’d like to blog about. Here’s the one I’d like to write, though I haven’t decided which of the two titles to give it:

- The Manly Pansy or The Sissified Brute

    When I need a “guy fix”, I just head over to Maximonline, or a couple other “ahem” male oriented sites. But I sure wouldn’t mind masquearading as a woman and checking out the womens blogs. Maybe tell them how much I like cooking for my husband and waiting on him hand and foot, fetching his slippers, rubbing his feet, washing his car, vacuuming naked, things like that…….lol

    Thanks for coming by my site! You are spot on; you would definitely need team tee shirts, and then, of course, all male blogging would cease while you tasted and decided upon a team beer. ;) Interesting, though, that women first decided to create a gender-specific directory. Maybe you’ve found a blog niche?
    And to Dazzlindino, I think even women get a great fix when we read Maxim. If only for those captions.

    i don’t know how organized we are but we do tend to ban together…it must be because all the patriarchy. ;) i can’t wait to read your “sissified brute” story.

    Thanks for the comments. (Well, except for the anonymous spam comments I deleted.)

    Are you making fun of me? Cause if you are, that is way cool.

    And I like The Manly Pansy.

    I’ve been mocked too many times to mock. Definitely not makeing fun … I thought it was a good idea since, in a given day, I can come up with five to ten things to blog about. Sadly, some sad sack boss usually wants me to work instead so I never get the time. But I’ve a fistful of posts that I want to post … someday, someday.
