Women are increasingly entering the technological world with full force as proof of this, a space on the internet exclusively for women is gradually emerging, created by them and focused only on them, where men - from development to use of the tool - are banned ie the project is being developed entirely by women. It's the Women.com, a kind of social network and forum that is in beta (experimental) and can only be accessed with invitation just to prevent men from accessing the website.
The tool was idealized by Susan Johnson (CEO) and Neal Kemp (CTO), who have explanations on why they keep the space completely free of men. Susan told the TechCrunch that there are differences between exchanging ideas in a social network, when men can arise, or offline, over the phone or via email, in which it is possible to keep away from them.
On sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, among others, it is possible to create groups for female conversations, but there is always male interference. It is not about repulsion, but the possibility of having privacy to deal with issues that only concern the female sex. That is why the separation is taken seriously - so serious that in the future the Women.com will use Facebook Connect to make sure that the user is really a woman if it is caught use by a man, the account is banned.
For now the site has a basic layout, with a main page and others with topics such as health, exercises, family, career, relationships, etc. On average, the accesses come from women between 25 and 40 years, which the founders consider the ideal:
For now we are focused on this mystical age group where you really begin to identify yourself as a woman, having post-school experiences. The CEO said.
And it seems to have worked, because TechCrunch reports that it is not uncommon to find commentaries with seven paragraphs in Women.com posts. As the site is still undergoing experimentation, it takes patience to gain access, and at the moment it does not have spaces focused on markets of African or Latin countries, and it is not known if there will be an expansion in the future.
We can only hope that African women will take advantage of the project and to what extent we [men] will be banished from this promising service.
