Weblog Awards

Sean Bonner asks if he is too PC in regard to the Wizbang blog poll.

The categories are:
Best Overall Blog
Best New Blog (Established in 2003)
Best Group Blog
Best Foreign Blog
Best Humor Blog
Best Looking Blog
Best Female Authored Blog
Best Liberal Blog
Best Conservative Blog
Best Media/Journalist Blog
Most Egregious Omission
and a number of categories based on the number of inbound links.

Why is there a Best Female Authored Blog category and not a Best Male Authored Blog? Are women disadvantaged in writing of blogs? Are women unable to be in the Best Overall Blog category?

If I was a consideration (haha) would I be restricted to the foreign category? What defines the foreign category? Where the writer lives? Where the writer comes from? Where the server hosting the blog is held? A foreign language category would be better, given that Wizbang is an english based site.
