And thank God for women, who keep the human species alive while men go on their adventures and schemes (all things that end with -ism are ridiculous and crazy in the end) and join their armies (all to impress women, incidentally).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1169030033337536532007-01-17T02:33:00.000-08:002007-01-17T02:33:00.000-08:00I've got an alternative hypothesis: people email t...I've got an alternative hypothesis: people email the practical articles to friends, where there may be some impact/help (I do that all the time...like an article on NY real estate to my husband). Many times these practical matters have a particular resonance with the person you email it to (continuing above example, we're looking to sell our apt in Queens and move upstate soon, thus the relevance of the article). This is not something that invokes big emotional reactions or is something emailers feel they need to share with the whole world.<BR/><BR/>People blog about articles that they've got strong opinions or emotions about, and many times ones they assume people have seen, but they link to the article for the particular reference. For example, I assume people know about the botched hanging where the guy got decapitated because the rope was too long. Say I have strong opinions about capital punishment and want to use this as an illustration of my disgust with it -- this I'll blog about, as opposed to sending it in an email to my mother.<BR/><BR/>I really don't think it's a men/women thing. I think it's a personal communication vs. soapbox kind of thing. If there were more blogs about the latest cars and more emails about the latest cosmetics, I might buy the male/female dichotomy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
