A more interesting statistics for this discussion would be to have the percentage of users producing publicly visible content. "Using the internet" doesn't mean much (not that I assume the result would be too different, just saying that it would be more meaningful)
"using the internet" is a binary metric. Look at how many hours are spent on the internet by males vs females, and who creates content on the internet.
> I don't think the Internet is overwhelmingly male
What you think and what it is may be two different things
As of 2021, the US, 94% of men use the internet, compared with 93% of women.
As of 2019, in the world, 58.3% of men use the internet, compared with 48.4% of women.
