There's a loaded question. <BG>
It is predicted that next year, women will lead men in Internet
access by a margin of 60 percent for women and 40 percent of men.

In fact, I would think this is true today in the US. It would seem
to me that women now outnumber men on the Internet in the US and
women should catch up for the world in about a year.
Personally, I like the odds. :-)
The Internet may have begun as a Men's Club entity, but now it is
very much a Woman's world made up of shopping malls and blueprint
answers to everyday questions. The Internet gives women what they
have needed all along - a better option than men for meeting most of
their needs.
Maybe not all needs...but most. :-)
Interestingly enough, even those areas thought to previously be
exclusive to men, have been taken over by women. Would it surprise
you to learn that women now constitute the majority for online games?
