Despite the current rapid pace of development, there are still all sorts of discrimination in the XXI century. As we live in the era of “information society”, the information inequality is now the highest form of discrimination caused by numerous factors. Gender identity is one of such factors. Issues, related to the peculiarities of gender and its psychological and social disparities, are among the most discussed and controversial in today’s information society. For this reason, one can mention about the phenomenon of gender digital divide as the most acute form of modern segregation.
