Response to Herring article

I would have to agree with the conclusion of the Herring article that states that the CMC is male-directed rhetoric. Herring states in the conclusion of her article that men and women have different discourse positions in cyberspace that affect how language is used among them. Herring's argument is well-placed and urges women to contribute more to communicating in the cyberspace world. I feel she makes a strong and truthful argument about how women should contribute more to web-based communication and conversations. She also mentions that there should be more strategies geared at promoting womens' interests into the cyber network. I also agree that the cyber network is male rhetoric based and should have some action taken to promotet womens interests to these sites.
