[Air-l] hanging out and mushes - performatively masculine still?

[Radhika Gajjala]

Since Lori Kendall's work (and several others prior to hers) that 
found mush, mud, moo social activity to be masculine oriented and 
male-dominated (to simplify all the arguments into one statement ...) 
- has there been any concrete study done to see how many of the young 
generation of mush-ers are really female?

any reading suggestions?

It occurs to me that now with the "grrrl" movements and thirdwave 
cyberfeminist celebrations of online access in much of the materially 
privileged world(s) around us in the past decade or so - some of the 
scholarship on gender, access and culture in such online environments 
would have begun to note this shift...

thanks,
