Blog Against Sexism Day

Today is International Women's Day, and as such it is also Blog Against Sexism Day

The trouble with blogging against sexism is the question of where to begin. There's so much of it, and so much of it is invisible and subtle. Lucky for me, Blogpulse handed me something on a silver platter as I was cruising top-linked news stories last night:

Of the sixty-one people named by PC World's Christopher Null as The 50 Most Important People on the Web, only four appear on the evidence of their names to be female. Heck, Forbes had a list of only 25 "Web Celebs" and named four women, for more than twice the inclusivity of women per capita — and those women got slagged by the Tech Boys Club.

Here at As I Please we aren't taking bets for how long it takes for some tech pundit to trash the women on the PC World list, because there is no place to set the line to where anyone but an idiot would take the over.
