Tsk tsk, all this nonsense about gender is inane. There are people discussion things on blogs. Statistics dont matter. As long as you find the blog pleasing, it is great! For every man who blogs there are hundreds who dont. Shouldnt we start pondering on that meaningless statistic? Why didnt I see this before?

I suggest things should be fixed in a couple of years, maybe even sooner. Interestingly, I was reading the book, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" just before reading this post and the book seems to cover the same thing from a different perspective. To tell you the truth, women participation in IT discussion groups have improved, atleast from what I see around me. I guess it would take some more time before tech blogging wave acquires importance too.

Female presence is high, absolutely ; but not women-and-compsci kind of presence.

More than anything else it serves psuedos who want to appear progressive. Anyone who regularly frequents the blog world know that the female presence is substantial, esp in India. I can't wait for Arundhati Roy to say something about this ;-) Sheesh, this whole thing about women, is becoming an industry for some folks, a conversation starter for some, a space filler for newbie journalists/writers who are not sure about how to get started.

I really don't understand this whole women participation thing.

I mean who the f*** cares? Get a life! JD And why should I care?
