Men Think They're Better Surfers Than Women
from the are-we? dept
A new study suggests that men think they are much better web surfers than women. Of course, the study doesn't check to see if we actually are better surfers. It just assumes that it evens out, and men are being somehow sexist when they assume women are worse. It seems there are a lot of comparisons to how men and women perceive driving as well. Men are more likely to be "backseat drivers" when it comes to web surfing, telling women where to go, or pushing them aside to take over the controls. Men are also more likely to get the equivalent of "road rage" online, as they get angry over not being able to find what they're looking for.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
