		<description>I agree with the observations about women and criticism voiced here. However, I have other perspectives on why people (women)  don&#039;t leave comments on blogs. We are all just too BUSY! We&#039;re in a dash from task-to-task and simply keeping up with conversations in various sectors of the online world is almost impossible, let alone finding time to check in with friends by phone or for coffee.

At 53 I am comfortable with my ability to work in this man&#039;s world and make my voice heard and I am confident that I know how to take criticism. As a self-employed mom and grandma with many personal interests, I opt not to leave my mark on all the blogs I read. It&#039;s enough to dash through them sporadically and then take what I read to digest while on a solitary kayaking outing later in the day or in the car on the way to the grocery store. 

As to all the men who seem to find the time to comment, I&#039;m not going to go there other than to surmise that maybe they have an assistant or life partner that is managing alot of their life for them, freeing them up to engage in blogalogue with the rest of the world. ktcosmos</description>
