    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".

    That does not prove what they're trying to indicate at all. That indicates "women who read blogs are more likely to have one of their own". It doesn't say squat about how many women actually have blogs - if there's five women out there who read blogs, and 100 men, then that's one female-run blog and 14 male-run blogs.

    Come on, guys. Get your facts straight.
