So Mark Reckons posted a couple of very interesting posts.
I linked to him on my own blog, and then I linked to him on the LC netcast, because they WERE very good posts.

andrewducker picked it up, and linked to it, and discussed it with his f-list... And thanked matgb for the link.
I didn't bother saying anything to Andy because, well, Mat and I ARE practically the same person, and it doesn't really matter, and he must have figured that Mat would be the one to link to it, being the psephology geek of the two of us.
Today, Mark Reckons posts again, thanking ALL the people who have linked to him... Mr Quist, Andrew Ducker, Malcolm Clark, That Tory Blogger, Claude IF Carpentieri, even Millennium... oh, and of course Professional Journalist Polly Toynbee - who isn't male, but IS a paid journo!
Where are all the female bloggers? Where they have always been. Here, blogging, and being ignored by the men, or even when they do notice us, being passed over for credit because people with our little fluffy female brains can't POSSIBLY be serious political bloggers.
You're damn right I'm bitter.
((Thanks for the ETA, Mark, it's very sweet, but I think theMatrix patriarchy has you))
