Women who write weblogs have all one thing in common:
they want to express themselves more freely, share their
intimate moments and portray their concerns, thoughts
and lives as they are.

A large number of women from different age groups,

social classes, and with

different educational
backgrounds and

attitudes have registered

weblogs in
their names. They are no

longer willing to adopt
silence in the virtual

cyber world, providing

the others with a chance to talk about their feelings
and desires, the Farsi newspaper Iran wrote.


Hamid Mortazavi, a psychiatrist, says women use
weblogs as a tool to express their viewpoints and
exchange opinions. "Perhaps these women, driven by
the male-chauvinist atmosphere and absence of
gender equality in our country, are trying to use
weblogs to narrow the gap. Women writing weblogs
on the Internet have grown more individualist and
extrovert compared to the previous generation.

They speak more openly of their real private lives
than did their mothers and grandmothers,Ó he opined.

A male weblogger, whose identity was not disclosed,
believes this is the first time women are able to
voice their opinions on a variety of subjects for
a public audience freely.
"This is not an insignificant minor event, especially
in a country wherein women have always been told to
hide their femininity, hold back their feelings and
express themselves through another person--usually a
man," he commented.
