Yesterday, I took a call for questions on my blog and I got a question that I felt should really be a post unto itself.

Stephen asked:

“As a male, I sometimes experience hesitation in commenting on you gal’s blogs. You, Sandi, Tanis, Suzanne, Ree, Katie, etc. The hesitation stems in large part from being perceived as some kind of weirdo, stalker/loser. Have you ever felt that way about guys commenting, and also, how does Jonathan feel about it?  My rule of thumb is to try and always be a gentleman, and make sure that I frequently make note of being happily married, but still, it feels like a sensitive subject and MANY times I don’t jump in for that very reason.”

Good question. And I have heard it from a lot of men in my years online.

I would not only never presume to do that, I imagine that many a female may read my opinions and utterly disagree. (This is the Internet after all.)

I can only speak for myself.

As for me and my opinion about male commenters on my blog?

BRING ON THE DUDES, YO.

THE MORE THE MERRIER.

I was so grateful to see this personal pledge to stop all the hating on each other from one of my favorite Interweb friends.

(It might seem like a feat but Erin is hugely passionate and outspoken. If she can do this, so can you.)

I hope you’ll join her.
