What aog and Bret said and it's not only men and it's not because we're unable to express ourselves IRL, but because we can't find people who care about the same things we do to the same extent as we do IRL.
Hahaha. SWIPIAW never reads political weblogs, but she does hit knitting ones now and then. She's even had me put up pictures of some of her projects to share with the other knitters.
Yes, David's confusing blogging with his type of blogging.
Politico-religio-socio-scientific argument blogs are of course a tiny and deeply uncool subset of blogs, but they are probably mostly populated by married men.
While the plural of anecdote is not data, so this doesn't necessarily void David's son's hypothesis, I am completely capable of expressing my opinions IRL.

On what basis do you presume that among male webloggers, the proportion who are married is larger than that of the general population?
For me, it's not so much a lack of permission for expressing myself, but a lack of interest.
"I've been thinking about future technological developments and how they might impact interstellar colonization."
"That's nice"
"You don't care"
"I care deeply" [gives her "oh, you're so manly!" look. most women are good at giving looks, but SWIPIAW is a true mistress of the art]

Cyberpals are there 24/7.
If the question implies that married men are behind all those knitting, scrapbooking and cat blogs, I'm skeptical.

Okay, I give.
What is IRL?
My brain keeps returning "Indy Racing League", which serves to thoroughly frustrate my attempt to find a plausible alternative.
In Real Life.
D'oh.
