Women Blogging

I'm not new to the blogosphere and it's pretty risky advertising that I am a woman but I did it anyway. Why do I say it's risky? I say that because I often find myself getting different types of responses to my opinions on the blogoshpere if I have a female moniker, as opposed to an experiment I did. The experiment was that I changed my name to a male name and found that although people disagreed with the same arguments at the same rate, the way they disagreed were a different animal. When posting as a women I typically am called whore or old bitter bitch or something like that~~with no attendant data to support an alternative position. Then when the same sentiments and information is posted with a male moniker--someone who disagrees, also with attendant insults, provides evidence or data to support the opposition.
