You may well have come across this, but just in case: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/blogosphere/women_and_children.html Herring, Susan C., Inna Kouper, Louis Ann Scheidt, Elijah L. Wright. "Women and children last: The discursive construction of weblogs". Ed. Laura J. Gurak, Smiljana Antonijevic, Laurie Johnson, Clancy Ratliff, and Jessica Reyman. Into the blogosphere: Rhetoric, community, and culture of weblogs. 2004. 11 Nov. 2006 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/blogosphere/women_and_children.html. A brief analysis I did of a blogger-meet (http://www.julianhopkins.net/index.php?/archives/13-BUM-2007-the-online-eve nt....html ) also suggests that 'SoPo' (socio-political) bloggers are maybe dominated by men. Though as others have pointed out, what constitutes a 'blog' is up for questioning, and most blogs are not the 'A-list', or SoPo, type. This blogger (http://blogger-research.blogspot.com/2006/11/blogging-asia-windows-live-rep ort.html) analyses a report done for Microsoft, based on their 'MSN Live' service, this suggests that most Asian bloggers are female - but there are many methodological problems with this report.
