I’m not so sure about that, for me when a trend is completely mainstream it mirrors the makeup of the audience. the average blogger (according to this research)is 2/3 male, university educated and been blogging for nearly 3 years.
this looks like an early adopter segment and not the mainstream. or maybe there is a predisposition for men to blog more than women (which i would find difficult to believe)

Hmm, weird that there are fewer women bloggers (especially since we are meant to be more conversational). But look at us – you have at least two blogs. Me – none.
I would have thought there were way more women bloggers. Does this research only cover business-type blogs or personal blogs too?Women spew out personal blogs all the time.
this research covered all blogging. i would have thought women would have been bigger bloggers, but the eiaa data also backs up thsi assumption (http://www.eiaa.net/news/eiaa-articles-details.asp?lang=1&id=133)
