Hmmm. If by "rule" we mean use/consume, then this seems accurate. However, in terms of creating/leading/shaping the internet that seems to be ignored here. I don't have particularly strong feelings one way or the other, but it seems like it would probably be a good thing if more women were actually driving usage and behaviour and services on the internet.
A better thing than this perhaps, which a cynic might label as "it's easier to monetize women users". But that would be very cynical.
- defen 16y agoI also found it to be a somewhat shortsighted analysis. Conventional opinion amongst U.S. elite is that it's a very bad thing when one group controls the means of production which is primarily utilized by another group (whether the grouping be along racial/gender/class/other lines). But here it's celebrated. I guess because it's an economic argument for getting more women into tech. But we already "know" that men who go into tech are not representative of the general male population - why would women be any different?
- jdp23 16y agoWell said. And sometimes cynicism is the right response.
