There are other articles that are meant to be lists of female tech bloggers, e.g.

http://www.javaworld.com/community/node/3512/ http://www.webteacher.ws/2010/07/06/10-terrific-tech-blogs-b...

This article is not one of them. Just because it doesn't answer the question the way you want it to be answered doesn't mean it's "perpetuating the problem".

In fact, one of the indirect points of this article is that demanding lists of female bloggers in the first place is silly - who demands lists of male bloggers?

Regarding you last post: it seems curious that there are actually lots of decidedly female tech groups (like geek girls or whatever), whereas male only tech groups would probably be met with outrage. That said, personally I don't need a list of female bloggers.

Because there's no need to create a space specifically to be occupied primarily by men - it already exists in the form of the entire field.

The reason why groups devoted specifically to women exist is to provide spaces that aren't male-dominated, unlike most other spaces.

By that reason it seems a list of female tech bloggers would also make sense.

If it was created as a resource for women, sure. But as the response to a demand by men? No so much.

Why not as a resource for women? It would be difficult to forbid men from using it, though.
