  Is Digg Sexist?

  While I am all for respecting women and find some comments offensive, I do believe that Digg or any other internet entity being "sexist" or something similar is a bit of a skewed view. Most of these entities are a sum of the users' input. What is happening here is the majority of the internet (or at the very least sites that seem "sexist") is being visited by a majority audience of males. I think that another part of it is that the internet offers a certain degree of anonymity so that comments that are disrespectful (whether towards women or other men) carry no reprecussion. I think it is the whole prank-call feel. They don't know who you are, so you can say whatever you want whether or not the person really feels that way may be something completely different.
