Comment Re:Porn's not growing, at least not in proportion (Score 1) 179
I couldn't find the stat I was really looking for. About a year ago, in the US, women became something like 51.2% of Internet users. I thought I read that in the Washington Post, but it really could have been anywhere.
Much of that growth is reflected in the stat I did find--women are a substantial majority of new users. The same study indicated that the average age of Internet users was also growing, and not in the obviously meaningless way you described. The proportion of adults over 50 who used the net was growing, for example.
I looked again for the study I was thinking of, and did not find it. But I did find a study from 1998 that said, more or less, "this is starting to happen and will happen by 2002." http://www.colostate.edu/Depts/CoopExt/PUBS/OCTNE
