I don't think it ever will.
The feminists in the 60's thought that things would drastically change in the coming decades too. While some things have changed to an extent, women are still the primary caregivers and "make up 59 percent to 75 percent of family caregivers". And the reason is not "structural" because no one is forcing them to act like that, at least not in the Western world. They simply choose to care more about some issues than others on their own free will.
This certainly plays a role, but it doesn't explain why men blog more often about technology, science, politics, politicians and business and women blog more often about interests and hobbies, family and friends, creative work and personal experience...
This could likely be the reason. It's structural. The behaviour will change as the next generation comes up, though. In the next thirty years, I think that the number of female participants will have increased dramatically.

I think it's mostly due to the confrontational nature of political debate in general.
