Posted by CowboyNeal on from the ladies-choice dept.

      I agree. Women yap a lot and its real annoying. I'd rather do what I do which is... -Download and watch porno -Do other hobbies like play video games, work on web site, and other shit -read Slashdot. I love to read slashdot every day. I've become a regular since a few months ago. I do not really respond as much as read the replies and articles. -I read the newspaper almost every morning (Comics, Some sports, business, and more deaths on highways that are local here. I287, 684...) -Sleep and eat -Reality shit such as... School and job.

    So one in ten people who knows what a blog is, HAS a blog.

    That's too many blogs.

  5. Summary says most women are men? by Nymz · · Score: 4, Funny

    What an insensitive summary, but I guess that's to be expected from the patriarchal and male-dominated Slashdot blog. So for the last time you unenlightend masoginists, Bloggers are male, and Bloghers are female. Sheesh.

    that any article summary mentioning the word "blogosphere" resultants in your average slashdot reader to be 79.993093 more likely not to RTFA because the term "blogosphere" was mentioned. Seriously. Kill it with fire. I hate the word.

    Yes, let the word "blogoshphere" become a roadkill on the information superhighway, for the synergetic well-being of all netizens!

    Of course the fact that women equal or outnumber men doing ANYTHING online in 2007 is pretty much a nonissue anyway. Well I just read about a different survey that concluded that over 50% of people on slashdot are women. I don't know about you, but I found that number rather surprising.

    Ok, I made that up.
