From the supplier: An investigation of soap opera discussion groups called "cyberfans" revealed they are designed to flatter young women and give them opportunities for escapist fantasy. These sites ignore issues of older woman and minorities, which divide women according to age, race, and social status. Although many belive the Internet represents Utopia where race, gender, and age are not significant, others believe it is an advertising tool that serves vested interests.
