Okay, so the final reason that, or one of the final reasons that women might write about science. Again, same reason that anyone would write about science in a blog, to educate, inform, and entertain. That's basically why I do my blog io9 and my personal blog Techsploitation

I used to blog at Wired.com at a couple of different blogs and I'm showing you this example up here, which is a blog post that I wrote last year, called Sexual Dimorphism in World of Warcraft. The reason why I'm giving this as an example of something that I have written is that not only is it an interesting topic, I was covering a really great paper by Andrea Rubenstein about how characters in the online role-playing game World of Warcraft have changed over time to reflect sexual stereotypes.

This post has gotten hundreds and hundreds of comments. It still gets at least two comments a day.

This has really, to me, demonstrated two things about what's interesting as a science blogger or someone who's looking at social science on their blog is that gender issues, which are near and dear to a feminist's heart, can be very popular and can be a source of great interest to the public if presented in a way that's appealing. Or if it's presented in the context of popular culture that people are engaged with on a daily basis.
