Is women’s’ worldview narrow?

March 31st, 2011

An excellent gender-wise analysis of the Indian blogosphere by Preeti - do have a look. She uses it to explore the larger question of whether women’s interests are too narrowly focused - on home, parenting, relationships - and if that is a problem.

What do you think? By ceding the ‘big issues’ such as politics, science, law or technology to men, are we doing ourselves a disservice? I am in two minds - on the one hand, one cannot say that the personal is unimportant, and men can definitely do better at articulation in that space; however, one cannot say either that politics or technology is unimportant - these things drive change and will shape the way the world looks 10 years from now. Are we not interested or just not interested enough to focus on them single-mindedly, or are there female bloggers and writers in this area that have been missed? (I am talking Indian specifically).

Go read and do share your comments. It is a post that a lot of thought has gone into, and I think, a topic much worth discussing.
