  • Ten years ago, estimates placed the number of female Internet users at 5% (Sproull, 1992, cited in Ebben & Kramarae, 1993); females now make up slightly more than half of all Web users (Rickert & Sacharow, 2000).
  • women and men still do not have equal access to the creation and control of what takes place on the Internet.
  • The claim that everyone has equal access to the Internet tends to overlook the fact that all access is not equivalent
  • The linguistic features that signal gender in computer-mediated interaction are similar to those that have been previously described for face-to-face interaction
  • Moreover, unlike in the early days, there are as many women online as men. However, to conclude from this that the Internet has lived up to its potential to create gender equality would be analogous to claiming that women and men are equal off-line because both use telephones, moderate meetings, write books, start their own small businesses, and because they are roughly equally represented in the population of college-educated adults.
