For what it’s worth, at least 90% of the (techie) blogs I read are written by men.

Nevertheless, it is always beneficial to get as many different viewpoints and perspectives as possible, so a little more diversity would be great. But I’m not going to read something just because it’s written by someone different; It has to be interesting and insightful.
