I'm sorry, Flea, but Neil Gaiman isn't a straight white Christian man. He's Jewish, and British to boot which ought to merit a category all its own (I only have two Jewish Brits on my blogroll, and I only KNOW two British guys who are Jewish).

Another blogman you might consider is Eric Berlin (http://www.ericberlin.com). He's a crossword-puzzle guy, which is what first drew me, and has a 4-year-old boy with issues (fragile X syndrome). A good recent posting is about the "childfrees" who spew bile about children and those who have them.
More of his posts, though, lean toward the sort of conservative and politically oriented, linking to plenty of other male bloggers (I just skip those posts). And he's nowhere near as snarky as my favorite blogwomen. We can't all be snarky bitches, I suppose.
P.S. I prefer the term "douchebag."

Elayne, I was referring specifically to Gordon Atkinson of Real Live Preacher and the man who writes "They Will Know Us By Their T-Shirts;" that's why I singled them out. They are both outspoken Christians, unlike the other male bloggers I've added recently.
I know Neil Gaiman is Jewish, and that Steve Gilliard, Tony Pierce, and Bert Caradine are black.

Thanks, Flea! Now I need to go, er, blog about something other than tampons.
Looking over my blogroll I realize that I link to 2 men. Therefore, men must be about 1/8 of all total bloggers. Of course, I'm married to one of these guys so he doesn't really count. That leaves me with one male blogger, and he's defintely worth a read: http://www.michaelberube.com/

"Here's more talk about feminine hygiene products: You are a douche."
Thank goodness for this posting. I was reading it while DH freaked out about being late and Jacob did some fantastical early-morning petulant whining. You saved my morning!

I'm not liberal. I just hate that baby-murdering, oil stealing, minority vote suppressing, world-polluting SOB so much I can't see straight.
Wait a minute, maybe there's another reason I can't see straight. And my palms are hairy.

The phenomenon which you lampooned so beautifully (a male blogger suddenly wondering why there is not a single female blogger anywhere on any of the internets) is what prompted me to start writing my (basically completely unread except by me) blog.
Anyway, it's really heartwarming to see you give some of these poor men a link - you are a humanitarian, and I salute you, madame.

Alice, far be it from me to pick your invectives for you! (I haven't seen anybody call anyone a "douche," by the way, but I have seen male bloggers say that women only write about babies and menstruation.)

Calling a guy a "douche" isn't a big deal (most real men don't speak French). Call them "pencil-dicks."
Checking over my blogroll, I'll have to say that I do have lots more men than women, but that's because if my wife sees me linking to lots of strange women she'll kill me (not true, she'd be glad to have someone else take over payments.)
Some of my fravorite women blogs: Wonkette, Fresh Paint, Vestal Vespa, and Quirky Burque. And, obviously OGT. I need to start reading more of your links, flea. No, I need to write more dissastertation.

Thanks again for the link. Pinko, heh. Someday I'll figure out how to do links and I'll link right backatcha.

Thanks flea,
For finally coming to your senses, and honoring my blog on your blogroll. Being mentioned in the same sentence as our mutual pal at Makes Me Ralph, gives you instant credibility. I'll return the props', and will return often for a weighty dose of snark from a fellow Chicagoan.
P.S.: Loved you in The Big Lebowski!

heh - I had to pick this week to post about tampons, too! Only, you know... in the context of using them to make a political statement. But in all fairness, if the guys persist in pulling our pussies into their posts & comments(usually in the context of who is acting like one)... then they have no choice but to accept all the messy paraphanelia that goes with that particular piece of anatomy.
Thanks for adding me to the blogroll, flea - I feel loved now.

And I've always thought that the majority of bloggers were women.
I've since come to the conclusion that all the GREAT blogs are posted by women.
If I could figure out the programming, I'd have you, frog, dooce, emlin, etc on MY blogroll. I just haven't had the time to figure the damn thing out yet!

Yes! I can read you full-page now, too! Now if you could just figure out what you did and tell Echidne, I'd be set.
As for That One Woman, well, the capacity of people to ally themselves with their oppressors is truly astounding.

Yeah, what Emma said - help Echidne get her template working.
I know I'm partial, but my favorite part was not being able to find any men on What She Said! - hee. Actually, there is a roll on the left of the page called "Guys of the 21st century" but there are only 2 links on it.

thats very funny. yeah i seem to spend my life asking people for links only to get told that they'll watch my blog for a while to see if its any good (before not giving me a link), then when i look at their other links its "living with a left-handed stick insect blog", etc... no offence to left-handed stick insect owners.

It's a good thing Julia gave a beverage (or other-semi-liquid-food) inhalation warning.
I think it's seasonal. Since everyone's noting that this is the third time it's happened in just under a year, and it used to happen pretty regularly on Usenet, with gaps, too. It must have something to do with the procession of the Equinoxes, or maybe the Epicycles of Venus and Mars.

I was pointed here by that charming and talented lady over at Sisyphus. I never knew women blogged! (I mean, other than The Sisyphus lady, and Ueberblonde Susan the Suburban Guerrilla, and The Sideshow Lady.)
Does that make me a feminine product also? Oh, well, I've been in worse places.
If one guy - JUST ONE FRICKIN GUY! - plays this "where are they?" riff, it seems to me the answer is that there are no women on his blogroll because he didn't put them there.
Now, if he appears on any distaff blogrolls, isn't it time to remove him, and tell him why?
