It was bound to happen.
More women than men now shop online, according to a report released this week that found the average consumer is spending more money on electronic commerce sites.
For years men have been more likely to shop over the Internet than women, according to a report by the Pew Internet and American Life Project.
Women also were more likely to enjoy the experience, with 37 percent reporting they enjoyed shopping online a lot compared with 17 percent of men.
Twenty-nine percent of men polled said they did not enjoy shopping online at all, compared with 15 percent of women.
