Or just blog more about it? I have to admit I was really surprised by the findings from this research from Umbria, a blog strip-mining service. Given its now commonly accepted the blogosphere is pretty well split between the sexes, I couldn’t work out why “Almost six in 10 mentions were from males, indexing far higher than the generic blogosphere composition.”
Could it be that green is just another fact-based way for us to geek out? Its like green fact porn or something? New green products etc. At Greenmonk I try and get in touch with my “feminine side” – no amount of facts its going to move the debate forward. What matters now is feelings. There – I said it. I am going to have to think some more about what Umbria’s findings though, and hopefully they will be carrying out the survey again.
Very interesting. I also had the impression that women would be better represented as many grassroot female activists seem to really be “out there” doing the face to face things and perhaps this is where their energies are invested. For example this network seems more physical than virtual : http://havefundogood.blogspot.com/2006/12/womens-global-green-action-network.html
