Once again, bloggers and mainstream media reporters are wringing their hands over the perceived lack of female bloggers. I've written about this before, but the issue just won't go away. Today Chris Nolan of Politics from Left to Right gives her own top ten reasons.

Like Chris, I too am a female blogger cursed with a "Pat"-like name. Because of that, and because of some of the topics I tackle, readers often assume I'm a man. People that actually know me would find this hilarious. In my circle of friends, even the girliest girls won't pass up a Badger game. A love of sports, like a love of blogging, isn't necessarily passed down to just those with a Y chromosome.

But then again, maybe we should all just embrace those feminine stereotypes. And in that spirit, I present:

10. Her monitor is full of white-out.

9. Still too weak in the knees to type after reeling from the overwhelming sexual attractiveness of John Kerry's and John Edward's lush, full heads of hair.

8. Deathly afraid of mice.

7. Hasn't figured out how to solicit political opinions from Fluff Fluff and Mr. Huggins.

6. Can't figure out how to read the map of the blogosphere.

5. The Manolo, he has already cornered the market for the blogging of the shoes.

4. Can only blog 25 days out of every month.

3. Political polls are too much like math.

2. Tragically confused about the term "link whore".

1. Still hasn't found the right pajamas.
