I think it's important to keep in mind that one blog out of many isn't a concern. It's the overall skew and the fact that EVERY male blogger was skewed one direction. While I don't think most of the list are intentionally trying to shortchange women (one or two possibly excepted), we have some biases that we're not counteracting.
The data on what publishers send bloggers can be important, but not if it's used as part of the argument that it's not my fault, it's the publishers'! If I noticed that publishers were sending me stuff I didn't like, I'd be compensating. Bloggers aren't (or shouldn't) be publishers' marketing arms. We're supposed to be fans with our own judgment.
