Online Gender Roles

Speaking about "Men are from Video Games, Women are from Social Networks," I don't really trust the statement that women are at the forefront of social media. First off, the article has numerous grammatical errors. It uses 'then' rather than 'than' in the first few sentences. More to the point, social media is hugely male in many ways. Forums are made up of mostly men. Angry, horny, illiterate men litter forums and post nonstop from what I have seen, and I've seen quite a bit. Also, men created sites such as Facebook. I do know that women use social media more and more everyday, but I don't believe for an instant that it is much more female than male.
