BlogHer is actually taken, it’s a roundup site for blogs by women. It’s a cute term, but as some folks voiced above, I’m not really into gender-differentiating bloggers. For myself, I wouldn’t want either a girly or a girl-power name for the occupation. The way actors of both genders (mainly) want to be called actors now, comics want to be comics, and your waitress might prefer you called her a server. Blogger will do fine for me, or when I’m feeling fancy, “blog author.”

I’m happy to stand on the shoulder of giants of whatever gender. If men got to the game first, fine. Women are catching up quickly. I’m certainly glad it’s not just for boys anymore.

I think there are some mighty compassionate men blogging, like Brett Legree at 6 Weeks. I’ll never be as sensitive as he is!

I write a business blog myself, and my female p.o.v. is definitely there on occasion, but I try not to make it the point of the blog.

My 2¢. Great post!

Regards,

Kelly

Hi Tech News,

Welcome to the BWAB community.

Haha, some women will probably beg to differ, but I do think blogging (and the concept of it) was something that men originated. (if there is a female who blogged from the onset of blogging, I’d love to hear from you).

I like how you put that…we write more “delicious”

Hi Axecity,

Sorry, but I don’t like Bloggeress either. I’m leaning toward what Hyrcan said, we’re “bloggers”, just like you guys.

It’s good to know you don’t discriminate, as I always enjoy your comments.

Hi Catherine,

I do agree, it’s great to see more women sharing their stories/knowledge.

Hi Lance,

Right on! All of us gals thank you for your kind words.

And yes, you men rock too.

With time being an issue, we do have to pick and choose what we read. Like you, the technical blogs are often written in language that’s over my head, so I avoid them. However, if the blog author takes the time to explain things in “my language (?), they I’ll subscribe.
