There is the other equally curious question - why is the politics and current affairs blogosphere so disproportionately male? After all, it is a medium which notionally supports a multitude of voices, approaches, opinions. With a little tinkering, anyone with the reticent technology and a bit of spare time can set up a blog. <br /><br />So what could the barriers be?
