The way you put it seems to suggest you're disappointed it isn't still male-dominated.

As one of the women who was online back then, I didn't perceive it as "masculine", fwiw.

Understood. And I MUDded with some women. Am I disappointed that the net is less masculine? Not particularly. I certainly felt more welcome, and more comfortable with the net before when it was a more masculine environment, and in some sense I miss that. But I'm not the deciding user, and as a parent with kids... my feelings are complicated.
