And that's what got WebGrrls started. Now the climate has changed a lot. There are many more women, so you don't get bothered so much on the Net. Now WebGrrls is about providing a safe haven for women to get their feet wet in the Net. Women have a very different attitude to technology and the Net than men.
Women are more restrained.
They are afraid they will hit the wrong key and crash the computer. Men, in comparison, are more likely to explore by themselves. So WebGrrls encourages women to explore. Many women start out with WebGrrls and then join other forums. Very often, when a man has a computer and he likes using it, he would really like his wife or girlfriend to get the hang of it too.
