BlogHer 09 – If you could ask a man anything . . .

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

On Saturday, July 25th, from 10:45 AM until 12:00 PM, I'll be at BlogHer co-hosting a "Room of Your Own" panel with Busy Dad and Child's Play x2. It's called "Vaginally challenged bloggers – the men of BlogHer", and here's the description:

Among hundreds of women, we stand out as the men of BlogHer. We view the world differently. Some of us are single. Some of us are married. Some of us have kids, some don't, and some of us are just big kids ourselves. The male personal/life blogger is a minority among the personal/life blogging community, and our perspective could be invaluable to any blogger, mommy or otherwise, who wants to make the most of her audience. Join Avitable, BusyDad, and Child’s Play x2 in a discussion about the role male bloggers play within the blogging community, and how that impacts what they write, how they network, and why you should be on board with the work they’re doing.

So, for roughly an hour, the three of us will have to inform, entertain, and retain the interest of our audience. We'll have a moderator, we'll have an audience (hopefully), and now, we just need some questions to answer and topics to discuss.

Here's a few I've thought of so far:

With the majority of personal bloggers being women, it follows that most of the friendships you make online will be with women as well. What do your wives think about this? Do they handle it well? Does anything make them jealous?

When commenting on a woman's blog, where is that fine line between being supportive and friendly and being creepy and lecherous? Do you ever hesitate to comment because you're not sure how it will be taken?

Avitable, why do you constantly show your balls? Do you really think anyone wants to see that?

I don't think these three questions will fill an hour, though. Even if I do share my treatise on testicle exposure being a significant cause in the increase of laughter in the world. I need more questions and topics. And it's a Saturday, so you fuckers don't have anything better to do.

Give me some suggestions in the comments. Whether or not you're going to be at BlogHer, what questions would you like to ask a male personal blogger? Two daddy bloggers? A man who would attend BlogHer? Two men who posed for the Hot Blogger Calendar? Anyone with a penis? Anyone with a penis who still listens to Avril Lavigne and gets his eyebrows waxed?

I'm counting on your input to make this session the best one of BlogHer!
