Abstract

The account of gender on the Cybermind Mailing List is furthered by presentation of data and discussion from the List which touches on gender. Areas considered include: attitudes to feminism; gender and technology; awareness of gender; gendered patterns of communication; clichés about the way the different genders address each other; flaming and aggression; harassment; single gender lists; gender ambiguity; intimacy; the shifting divisions between public and private spaces; and bodies and netsex.
