What if most internet users were female?

Reading the majority of the replies here makes me feel I really over-estimated the quality of people on this site. Keep up the hate boys and you just may end up being best friends with your own hands forever. No female's going to spend time with someone who has such a low opinion of her.
I don't think there'd be less porn...just different KINDS.
Women are more likely to access erotic literature than video porn, but don't be fooled into thinking that women don't use the internet for porn
Also, I'm not sure how much it would change things. I don't want to talk stereotypes (I'm not a typical woman in the slightest, and I'm sure there are other women like me on the net), so won't, but I think there'd be less trolling, less abuse on Xbox Live and the PS3 Network...maybe I'm wrong, but I get the impression that, although women play games with the same calibre of skill and dedication as men, maybe it's less "I have to prove myself as a big man if someone screws me over in a game" and more..."One day, I will meet him, make him fall in love with me, then do eeeeeeevil things!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA".
Seriously though...I don't think it would change a hell of a lot.
EDIT: Actually, maybe there wouldn't be fewer trolls. I regularly troll Cher Lloyd's (X-Factor) Facebook page, purely because it's so goddamn fun!
EDIT: Also, I'm not liking the amount of sexism on this thread.
I don't give a crap what your personal views are, but keep them to yourselves, please. Don't base your answer on stereotypes. It's highly offensive.

As a male who lives in an estrogen ocean, I think I can have some insight to this...Hashime said:
The escapist would still exist. A majority of gamers are female. The only main difference would be that female gamers would be more out there and obvious about being such compared to now.
Most sites would still exist, but with slightly different views.
The maturity level? It depends what you mean by that... the "101 n00bz" kind of people would likely have a lower population.
On the other hand, women can be just as perverted/actiony/phsycopathic as men. So the overall maturity would be about the same. The main difference is the up-in-your-face immaturity probably being lower.
Xbox live? Less penis jokes, maybe a little more common courtesy, more gay/vagina jokes though.
Would I prefer it? I'd be a minority. It would likely be semi-different but would have followed the same core-path. So I wouldn't mind the internet except for when it came to be those times of the month. *shrug*
i wouldn't go on the internet as much, therefore i wouldn't socialize as much, therefore i'd probably go insane in my reclusion, therefore i'd get violently insane, and murder everyone in my surrounding area and cannibalize their spleens for sustenance. You're saving a lot of lives by going on the internet men.
or i'd get into sports.

That's um... not possible. Sorry to burst your bubble.Diamondback One said:

I don't think it'd make a difference, really. There's already alot of females using 'teh internetz', hence all the cute pictures and stuff. But yeah, I'm not so sure anything would be different. I suppose there'd be a bit of conflict on different sites (girls always argue with eachother...) but yeah, nothing major would happen. Imo.
in truth i don't know. are the two genders really all that different?
aside from obvious physical traits.

Not necessarily most of my gamer girl friends are much more interested in seeing tits then a dick, now 6pack of GTFO that might be viable.AvsJoe said:
I think that nothing would change. the Internet is for all society's outcasts regardless of sex. Granted there would probably be less porn aimed at males.

It's not that we think women don't like porn, but statistics [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography#Statistics] show very clearly that they watch porn less than men.Susan Arendt said:
