> Presumably they rule the Internet because you'd be labelled sexist if you claimed men ruled the Internet.

This is drivel. They rule the Internet because they love to shop and connect with their friends. ;-)

Seriously: That article had actual numbers. They may be right or wrong, but acknowledging numbers matter in these discussions is an import step away from the handwavey pop-psychology bullshit this article might have been.

To use those interesting statistics and come to the authors ridiculous conclusion further reiterates my personal opinion that if women in tech had an issue with how they were perceived, they'd start companies rather than roll of the eyes blog posts and step out the room conference panels.
