It also raises the question of what is a political blog -- does feminism count as politics these days or not? that would be my first question.
After that, I suspect we get into "why is this the case" and what you've linked to (thank you, btw) certainly leaves out the intense hatred and threats of sexual violence directed at high-profile female political bloggers (to the exclusion of all other types of harassment and trolling -- people are assholes to everyone on the Internet, but, as I'm sure you know, it's just the women who are threatened with rape over and over and are then told they have a problem because they don't think it's funny).
