| Abstract | This book looks at the gendered nature of information technologies highlights the pervasive technological determinism and liberalism that exists in many accounts of social interaction through networked technologies. The author argues against the 'free market' approach to ethics on the Internet, which takes a shallow view of equality and ignores the politics of gender inequalities and discusses how the traditional private/public split of liberalism which keeps women in their place in the private world threatens to spill over onto the Internet where there is already evidence of sanctions against women who are willing to speak up and speak out. |
