what did they expect?

Newsweek has an article about how the recent blogger attendees to the Harvard blog conference were mostly male. To that I say DOH! The Harvard conference was invite-only and of course the largest boys club would invite mostly males to their conference. Where and how did they do their research?

Newsweek is completely off, as well as Harvard in their conference. I don't think any of the bloggers I frequent were included in the invite. My blogroll and the blogs I read are more than 50% women. I would suggest a poll be done at some of the open blogger conferences and communities and see how that compares with the Harvard sample.

Grrr... the more you perpetuate the male boys club worldview, the longer it will persist.
