melo, I'm carefully re-reading your comment and I see your usual good intention, but maybe you are trying to understand the current imbalance, on ET and the wider world, as the only possibility and that´s not hopeful.

I don´t know, but the parts about the ´gender dominated´ and the ´gender subjects´ and women´s qualities just don´t fit for me at all.  I don´t want to be classified by those, I have had roles and molds all my life and I don´t want any more.  

This doesn´t have to stop you from writing anything, or disagreeing with me, you know that, so don´t give me the abc´s.  You know your square is fine with me, even if this time I don´t agree because I don´t fit.

the only possibility? far from it.

i think it's just that the progressive blogosphere, like most techy things, is presently male-dominated.

as the net becomes more 'normal', and as more women become progressive bloggers, i expect things will even out, to common benefit.

i'm very interested in the psychology of gender, which is why i take the high risk of misunderstanding in participating, and worse, being misunderstood, in these dragon-infested realms!

sorry if my thinking is still boxy, i'm working on it, thanks again for the educational feedback...
