PDF 2007 : Is Cyberspace Colorblind? Addressing Race and Class Online

Start: 18 May 2007 - 1:30pm

End: 18 May 2007 - 2:30pm

Timezone:

This weekend is the Personal Democracy Forum Conference here in New York City. I will be participating in what I know will turn out to be a kickass panel. The title of the panel is on this post Is Cyberspace Colorblind? Addressing Race and Class Online.

Ruby Sinreich, of LotusMedia and Orange Politics, is the moderator. The panel promises to be tight with Cheryl Contee Assistant Vice President of IDI.net, Chris Rabb, my blog bro from Afronetizen and Anil Dash, Vice President of Six Apart.

I am really excited about this panel. I know Chris and Anil for quite a while now, have the luck to have met Ruby earlier this year and work with her as part of the advisory crew over at TechPresident and have heard good things about Cheryl's online demographics work.

Words to live by

Data from the 2002 survey indicate that by age 20, 77% of respondents had had sex, 75% had had premarital sex, and 12% had married; by age 44, 95% of respondents (94% of women, 96% of men, and 97% of those who had ever had sex) had had premarital sex. Even among those who abstained until at least age 20, 81% had had premarital sex by age 44. Among cohorts of women turning 15 between 1964 and 1993, at least 91% had had premarital sex by age 30. Among those turning 15 between 1954 and 1963, 82% had had premarital sex by age 30, and 88% had done so by age 44.

Conclusions. Almost all Americans have sex before marrying. These findings argue for education and interventions that provide the skills and information people need to protect themselves from unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases once they become sexually active, regardless of marital status.
