WHY AREN’T THERE MORE female lawprof bloggers? “I don’t want to link to something that is going to make readers think I’m trying to help women (especially if it looks like I’m trying to help those most privileged of women, women law professors). I’m not blogging to benefit other bloggers. I’m blogging to benefit readers.”

Hmm. I’m more with SayUncle: “I do this to amuse me, not you.” In that spirit, here’s my own hypothesis: Men are genetically programmed to try to stand out through action, in the hopes of attracting women. It’s true, of course that blogging is a relatively ineffective way of doing that — but so are many other ways this urge manifests itself, like extreme Star Trek fandom. The point is the genetically programmed urge, which isn’t programmed into women in the same manner. Is this true? Beats me, but it’s amusing.
