A Call for Dude Bloggers

Lauren

I know there must be some dudes out there that blog, but I can’t think of any. If you can think of any blogs written by people with external gonads, please leave them in the comments.

I know the call for dude bloggers may seem silly or sexist, but it’s the chromosomes that count, not the content.

  1. I don’t know whether to be outraged or insulted: I can’t think of any either.

    What were we talking about, again?

  7. Ryan: It’s people like you who manage to convince the rest of the world that dudes have no sense of humor.

    Which is a real shame, since you’re pretty plainly not representative.

  13. Like I said at Twisty’s,

    WTF is going on? Your site, this Australian guy, PZ Myers, Kevin Drum (again, le sigh), I had a troll at my place (who I played ban-ip-spoof-ip with for a while, but I deleted all but his first three comments b/c I’m a bitch like that)….

    Was there some kind of action alert sent out to the International Order of Assholes this weekend or something?

  14. I just checked, and sure enough I’ve got external gonads. Huh, who woulda thunk? And oddly enough, someone with your exact name and URL posts comments on my blog all the time.

    So, if you feel like reading it, take a look at: http://www.chrisforesman.com/effect/. Hope you’re having a good Sunday. And if you feel up for some karaoke, DJ the KJ is at the Linwood Tavern tonight from 8p-12a.

  16. Is the only qualification for this recommendation that the blogger is, for all intents and purposes, a man? Is there supposed to be a definite spectrum of content or anything?

  19. Apparently, I’m a dude, since dudes are all unemotional, hate shopping, and are good at tests and shit. I double checked and I still have the vagina, but the overwhelming anti-shopping, pro-standardized tests demonstrates that actual sex aside, I’m a dude. What to do?

  21. Amanda,

    You’ve out-duded me. Except for external genitalia and secondary sexual organs, but I’m still crossing my fingers that I’ll turn out to be more punk than you. Anyway.

    I’ve been meaning to comment on the math-shirt thing that you cross posted on LA. I thought back to all the female math profs that I’d had and realized that they’d be much better mathematicians if they’d just get uglier.

  26. Me, Silly Seattle, Dogsnot Diaries, Angry Harry, Stupid Evil Bastard, Gonzo’s Bar & Go-Go Grill, People Who Deserve a Beatdown, Fulltime Fathers, Rather Good .com, Manpower, Men’s Activism, etc. etc.

    I’ve got a bunch listed under my favorites.

  27. C’mon, Chris, imagine the alternative. Without a scrotum, you’d have a pair of pink ovoids dangling by their epididymi–very uncool. Embryonically, it’s derived from the same tissue as the female labia, and you probably aren’t going to diss labia. Are you some kind of sexist? Support all gender-differentiated tissue!

  30. Embryonically, it’s derived from the same tissue as the female labia, and you probably aren’t going to diss labia.

    Embryonically, the pancreas and the liver are derived from the same tissue, but I’m not about to go into a deli and order a plate of chopped chicken pancreas.

  31. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with men not being interested in blogging. I mean, wouldn’t it be a boring world if everyone liked the same things? They just have other things they’d rather do, like taking out the trash and mowing the lawn. I think men might actually be smarter not to waste their time on these windy intellectual debates.

  34. Well, there is my blog. But it doesn’t get updated very much, because the idiot external-gonad-having creature who runs the thing is a) very disorganized and b) doesn’t like to blog about the same stuff everyone else blogs about, and is too lazy to do independent research very often.

    And yes, Robert is talking about himself in the 3rd person. He also appears to have used a run-on sentence in the previous paragraph. His X chromosome guarantees that he will suck at English; he apologizes for it.

  35. I’m actually an ethereal being with immense powers from slightly after the beginning of time, but I’m presently making use of a male human form, and Tolkien gave me a masculine persona.

  39. A call for dude bloggers?

    *scratches head*

    Um …well, there is this one, but I’m not all that sure whether it is a guy. What guy would have a pink blog?

  40. OH! You’re being sarcastic?

    But wait a minute… are you being sarcastic or non-sarcastic when you say you’re being sarcastic?

    Oh, I’m just so incredibly confused!

  42. I don’t know what you are talking about, Lauren. There’s no such thing as men or women on the internet. It’s a totally gender/color/class-blind safe place, and no one knows or cares whether you are normal, black, female, or poor.

    Gah!

  43. And yes, Robert is talking about himself in the 3rd person. He also appears to have used a run-on sentence in the previous paragraph. His X chromosome guarantees that he will suck at English; he apologizes for it.

    Biology might be something to brush up on; you meant your Y chromosome, no? 🙂

  44. Dude bloggers, let’s see (scratches head). Well, other than my husband, I guess I can think of a couple: http://frumpyprofessor.blogspot.com, http://boifromtroy.com/, and then http://mennoknight.blogspot.com/ has one XY among its two bloggers. Guy bloggers don’t blog as much about politics as we do, though; if you look at the latest posts in the blogs I suggested, you’ll see a lot of stuff about pipe smoking, football, and how long you have to wait to get food. Still, they’re not bad bloggers, for dudes.

  49. As usual I’m a little slow at following up on this thread. I’m nominally a guy, dude, male, man, etc. I’ll volunteer for whatever this is about. I was once the only man in a feminist editorial collective publishing my college’s newspaper.

    Q:- What does a man do in a feminist collective?
    A: Makes coffee.

    That’s a joke but my innate male curiosity is piqued…
