[comp.society.women] Women and the Net

skyler@ecsvax.uncecs.edu (Patricia Roberts) (01/21/89)

Just letting the readers know that I am completely overwhelmed
by what I have received on the subject of women and the net.

It isn't that I have received so many pieces of mail (in fact,
I have received far fewer than I had expected) but that they are
so hard to interpret.

I would actually like to receive _more_--I think that would make
my job easier.  

But here is a preliminary finding report:

	1) Women do not feel that there is discrimination, for the
	most part, but that there is a lot of harassment and that
	the general attitude toward argumentation is very unpleasant
	for women.

	2) Women do feel that there is sexual harassmnet.

	3) Women are very concerned with how they are perceived by
	their co-workers--more so than men are.
	
[I reserve the right to change my assessment of the above at any
moment.]
