Women Now Outnumber Men Online

miller60 writes "There are now more American women than men using the Internet, according to a new study from the Pew Center on the Internet and American Life on gender and use of the Net. While a slightly larger percentage of men than women are online (68 percent vs 66 percent), the larger population of American women tips the balance. Other findings: younger women and black women outpace their male peers by larger margins than the wider population."

  1. Minority Report by mulvane · · Score: 0, Troll

    Just another place the white male is becoming a minority. I mean come on..We have African Heritage month, Hispanic Heritage month. Not to mention some womens apprecition week/month. About the only holiday besides the generic Christmas(sorry the holiday we celebrate on the 25th of December), and Thanksgiving we really get is fathers day..And that is still generic. Where is White Male day at least for gods sake. I am really starting to feel like the minority. I don't have lawas to protect me. I can't claim racial discrimination even though I can assure you I have worked for "minorities" who have made my life hell. Look at the US NAVY for instance. There is a known "filipino mafia" in existence. Granted, its not like the olden day mafia. And now the internet! For the record, I am a married geek. And I am not from "one of those states". (should I edit my post to read causcasian?)
