Marlowe :
"I had
always been bemused and angered at the triviality of the
view of female interests portrayed in various gender-based
magazines and publications. Of course, editorial content is
dictated by the products that are advertised in a publication. But
how many of these are consumed along gender lines? Just clothes,
makeup and personal care items. Why, I asked in some article, did
a woman's magazine think I only bought those things? The change I
will focus on here is the diminishing importance of gender. The
web allows each of us to experience a self - built out of the
bricks of individual sensibility and understanding rather than
group identities of gender, class, race, religion and national
origin.
