This article concludes that interaction in cyberspace does not substantially change gender identity or relations. Instead, cyberspace gives us the opportunity to reaffirm our culture's normal practices and beliefs. To what extent do you agree with this conclusion? Give some examples that are different from the text's of how gender identity and relations remain the same in cyberspace. Also, provide some examples of interactions or identities in cyberspace that seem far different from the non-cyber world.
