Gender on The Web




"Forty years ago feminists banished "woman's pages" that featured cooking and other highlights from U.S. newspapers, calling them sexist. But now, 40 years later, they have returned. Long time feminist and regular contributor Ruth Rosen, of the website Talking Points Memo, says the resurgence of the women's sections in modern-day media amounts to "gender apartheid online."
