And yes men are better webmasters than women, says who? The hundreds more successful men than women in today industry.

Yes my last comment was bad, and I can be immature, but think about how much worse life would be with a women ad president…*shudders*

Of course it doesn’t, you’re right, most men would give a left nut to be half as hot as I am, wait you said success, ah, half as successful as i am.

So what’s your point?

Just because you’re a successful man does not mean all men are

Men in my opinion are more drawn to programing, marketing, SEO and all things webmaster related, but it’s not just about that. It’s about the ability to make it in a cut throat industry. It’s do or die most of the time, the difference between making money and not making anything at all is just 10 search results down the first page of that search right? Women bring emotion into the equation too and tend to let it get the better of them.

Sure there are a few professional women out there but I can count them on my one hand, using only 2 fingers. Men are dominating the internet and I also think it’s because of that, that men will remain the dominant gender in the webmaster world.

my sister is a material science engineer…engineering is still one of the only fields dominated by men, but she’s getting paid very well, with her doctorates degree and gaining the respect of many.

Why is this? Because she knows what she’s doing, is educated, and has a passion for it.

Its like that in everything. Its not a matter of sex, its a matter of drive and/or love for your particular job. Those who love anything tend to do more for it/with it.

Putting things in male/female categories is too black and white. A lot more goes into it, then merely gender.

Just my 2cents

I think the disparity in this regard has more to do with one’s passions and interests, as Michael suggested, rather than one sex’s inherent superiority over the other. Both men and women are equally capable of being successful and accomplished in whatever area they choose. Granted there are some areas where women have an advantage over men and vice-versa, but this isn’t really one of them.

What I’d be interested in knowing is why men are more drawn to tech than women. It’s probably some complex interplay between our slightly different brain structures and thought patterns, as well as cultural influences, societal norms and pressures, and a host of other things.

Personally I know a lot of women who use computers - I don’t know any who don’t, even my 80-some-year-old grandmother uses a computer on occasion to check her on her stocks, but I do not know many that are the slightest bit interested in using them to create and run their own sites, or come up with a brilliant new tool. They’d rather utilize the tools and sites that already exist. I think I am in the minority of women that do take an interest in this.

Maybe it just all comes back to this: men do, women talk. LOL.

Elaina - he specified “webmasters” in the title, which isn’t quite the same as a designer. One can be a designer without being a webmaster, just as one can be a webmaster without being a designer. I think as a webmaster though, people tend to juggle a few more hats - PR, coding, design, SEO, writing, etc.

Don’t get started with politics mister, you’ll land yourself in doodoo if you do

Also about your last comment, Ugh! Men!

End of discussion.
