Adding to that... I was there in the 90s, I used the electron, the switch, and the baud... and the IRC.
My nick was gender neutral, but from time to time, I heard women comment on how unfriendly the Internet was. One day, out of curiosity, I entered a somewhat popular IRC channel with a fake nick, "natalie" IIRC... and got instantly DDOSed by something like 100+ private chat windows with all sort of "openings" from the male population.
Yeah, the 90s are not a good model to follow in this regard. On the other hand, if you haven't got 100+ DMs yet, maybe we're going in the right direction after all ๐ค
