1. I like the way the poster says it was an 'off the record' meeting
Edited on Thu Jun-01-06 10:45 PM by TayTay
then posts what was said. (Well, in part.) Unclear on the concept anyone.

And why are so many of these blogger meetings overwhelmingly male? Why is that? (My own live-blog of a different event in Lowell was 8 guys and two women. What is up with this? And why am I making this ironic complaint in this group anyway, LOL! My brain gets fried sometimes.)

2. he may assume it just means not to officially record
in notes, tape etc. but telling from memory is ok.

3. That is a fascinating topic.
I actually think that (generally speaking) there are differences between male and female responses online. It's actually really interesting. (I keep running back over old Scientific American articles and gender difference info that I have stored around on this. It absolutely fascinates me. There are genuine differences. There are also differences that aren't differences, but are because they are sublimated. Hmmmmmm. BTW, women hate politics. I think they fundamentally hate politics. Which is really interesting.)

4. If women hate politcs
Than how come they proportionally vote more than guys. Agree though it would be nice to have more women bloggers because different perspectives help with the debate.

6. Yeah and hopefully she'd be unlike Kos
I can't stand Markos, I think he makes liberals and democrats look bad.

9. yeah, worst part being that he isn't even liberal

11. Yep
He's just so self righteous and arrogant too. I remember reading some comments that got him taken off Kerry's linklist, he basically said screw you to contractors KIA in Iraq, than he crapped on Kerry for taking him off. He's basically the worst kind of person out there a person who willingly hates what he is and doesn't care.

7. Wow. That's deep.
I think chicks dig JK. I would expect him to have more that the average number of female bloggers based on the 'chicks dig him' factor.

Seriously, though. Do you think there's a real gender difference in bloggers? That's pretty wild.

12. I do. There is a difference in posting
Edited on Thu Jun-01-06 11:25 PM by TayTay
There are some women who post and are almost caricatures of men posting. (I'm not sure if this is that misguided attempt to 'look tough' or if it is emulating the old geek culture that this medium sprang out of or what. I need some more pondering time.) Mary Scott out Markos's Markos a lot of the time in terms of tough language and so forth. (Is that how you become a serious blogger?)

I have made some non-judgemental observations about it as I see it here. (I mean that. There is nothing wrong with any of this, I was just noticing it.) We have people who go out into other forums on DU and then come here and post about 'being exhausted' from fighting other DU posters. Curious behavior. Why is this exhausting? This is, by definition a political forum and that implies heavy differences of opinion. (You can't have unanimity in politics. It's an oxymoron.) Why then is it so exhausting to fight? Isn't that the presumed norm? (Do men experience this as exhausting or as something that angers them? Hmmmmmm.)

This is actually a very interesting group to ponder. The poli-web is largely male (70% male, I think) and it is actually rare to have a group with a majority female posting ratio. It is different from other forums. It feels different, the posts are different.

Or I could just be full of crap. (Again.) Thoughts?

13. do you know what the male/female ratio was on the official Kerry blog
during the campaign ?

also, during the Kerry birthday party that you all attended, it was all women wasn't it ? i wonder how a meeting like that would be different from one with mostly men or evenly split male/female.

14. Good report altogether.
The poster is not reporting anything Kerry has not said publicly many, many times.

However, one of the answer is difficult to believe: The Talibans were good people who stopped heroin traffic and this is why the US attacked them. I never thought IndyOp was one of the "tin-foil" bloggers. She should ask aghani women what they think about that (even if the new government is far from being women friendly). Difficult to believe!
