Do Women Get More Frustrated by the Web than Men?

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and don't mess with her computer either. A recent survey by the Swedish computer magazine PC för Alla (that's PC for Everyone in English) suggests that it's women, not men, who are more prone to being frustrated when surfing the web. Some of the more interesting survey results:

Frustrated by slow load times for web pages
Men: 56%
Women: 66%

Frustrated if their broadband connection doesn't reach the promised speed
Men: 48%
Women: 56%

Frustrated by (interacting with) computer support
Men: 38%
Women: 42%

Looking at the above numbers, does this suggest women are impatient, always want more than what they're getting, and have trouble communicating? Only if you fancy sleeping on the couch!
