Is this why men outnumber women in India on blogosphere? “Women are holding themselves back. I know women who are very expressive. But they don’t want to attract unwanted attention,” says blogger Kiruba Shankar. “Women are better at expressing their feelings. They convey subtle things better.” Which is perhaps why more men than women read their blogs. It’s not voyeurism either.
So be it a release, a way to de-stress, a way to solicit a view or simply to connect with like-minded people, blogging sure seems to be giving the Indian woman the space that tradition may have denied. Make that blogspace.
