Your observations are interesting concerning female bloggers. I'm a moderate blog reader. Of the 10-12 in the U.S. which I'm currently reading daily, the following are by females. (None of them are primarily about food or child-rearing, although the latter subject is probably at least as important as politics.
Drsanity.blogspot.com/ University of Michigan MD/psychiatry professor Pat Santy. Her comments are both humorous asides and serious commentary on the psychological aspects of political beliefs. Especially good posts on Denial, Marcissism & Society, and Psychological Defense Mechanisms. Background tidbit: she was the crew psychiatrist for the space shuttle Challenger mission when it was lost: her description of the NASA bureaucracy and her ministrations to the family provide a window into a little-seen aspect of that event.
Betsyspage.blogspot.com High school history & government teacher from North Carolina. Observations on current events. (I've only been reading her for a couple of weeks.)
Neo-neocon.blogspot.comNew-England, former therapist, author: her series "A Mind is a Difficult Thing to Change" documents the development of her political beliefs (similar to your series on coming to live in Israel).
Drhelen.blogspot.com/ Another psycology-oriented blogger, from Tennessee. Current events commentary. Her husband is also a prolific blogger.
Texas Sparkle Another one I've only been with a short time; current events.
What may be interesting is that all these females are on the more-or-less conservative or libertarian side of the political divide. There may be some thoughtful female leftists over here, but none come to mind off the top of my head. Of the Middle East bloggers I read more-or-less regularly, you happen to be the only female. That said, I recognize that I am not overwhelmingly knowledgable, and that your take is likely to be more accurate.
It is seldom that I even make one comment in a day, and here already I have two to your blog. You ask good questions.
