Of course there are differences between men and women...I certainly wasn't saying that acknowledging such difference is sexist. I was referring specifically to this comment, which sounds like "there, there, dear, of course women can be successful now that men have done all the work to make it easy."

They are less inclined to be interested in solving technical problems, etc. but given that the knowledge required to get "online" has been diminishing (i.e. men have been working hard to solve technical problems and make it easier) then there is nothing surprising in women being successful in the internet environment.
