    Chicks are all "yap yap yap" and dudes are like "why don't you go write in your blog, I'm trying to play Xbox".

      There's much more wrong with your post than formatting.

  3. 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.

    On the intenet, men are men, women are men, and little kids are fbi agents.

    ... or dogs.

    Men are less likely to become pregnant than women.

    You heard it here first!

    Come on! Did somebody really have to do a survey to figure this one out?

    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.
