Where are all the guy stroke bloggers?

I don't think the percentage of strokes is skewed that much, unless we males get slammed that much harder and die off more. No introspection maybe? I'm feeling lonely out here.

  1. You didn't include your blog in the men's category, so the men's list should be 1 longer.

    Thanks for the comprehensive list of bloggers - I haven't run into them all, so I have more reading to do.

    Back on topic: I have found that lots of bloggers are/wannabe writers; are there more female than male writers?

    Also, bloggers are trying to reach out and support other survivors; is it that women are raised to be helpers and caregivers?

    I'll stop here.
