I have too much respect for the women among bibliobloggers to not admit publicly the truth about their fellow bibliobloggers who are men, a truth that we’ve been conspiring to cover up. The truth, as shameful as it is to admit, is this:
Lately women bibliobloggers have observed the underrepresentation of women among bibliobloggers, and have begun to seriously consider what is at the root of this gender imbalance and how it might be remedied.
Do you know what male bibliobloggers have been thinking about this?
The men among bibliobloggers have been wondering whether this data drawn to their attention indicates that we’re still a bunch of geeks, nerds, dweebs, and cat-hating Zwingli-lovers whom girls still don’t want to hang out with, or whether the interest female bloggers have expressed in remedying the imbalance indicates that we’ve left our loser status behind and achieved a level of coolness we’ve never known before.
I know it’s sad. I know it’s shameful. But alas, it is the truth…
