I know what comment you're referring to, and I believe you've remembered it out of context.
I'm nearly positive the comment was made in speculation as to why it seemed like so many GC PNMs had unhappy recruitment outcomes. Someone ventured that it was because a woman who was more likely to be actively involved in an internet social scene (e.g. GC) would likely be more introverted or -- gasp -- even
geeky when compared to a PNM who had no idea what an internet message board was.
This comment was made a number of years ago, before the explosion of Myspace, Facebook, everyone and their mom having a blog, etc. I can't say that speculation would have been totally off the mark for some PNMs a few years ago, but I think that's changed since 2002 or whenever. I don't think it's really fair to bring up that example now.
