  1. it makes sense... on Females Outnumber Males Online · · Score: 1

    I think it's importaint to point out that according to the 2000 census there were slightly more women living in the US then men. Also in general men are slightly more likely to enlist in the US army, and since the country is at war then that would leave even more women outnumber men in internet use.

    Once you've thought about that, think of all the initiatives trying to get women interested in computers and computer sciences:

    http://math.rice.edu/~lanius/club/girls.html
    http://www.awc-hq.org/

    We're defiantly not doing those things for young men.

    Then due to a natural progression, if you're going to use a computer at all you might as well be online. So of course there's more women using the internet than men.

    And don't forget that population of young women addicted to those "women run alt-pornography sites" like the suicide girls and gods girls etc.
