I realize much of the thread is joking, but that doesn't justify this outrageous sexism.

Yes, women use Bitcoin. Yes, they are sufficiently tech-savvy to do it. If you look at this thread, you will find that over 7% of users on this forum are female. It is irresponsible to denounce almost 50% of the world population in this way.

If there's a reason that fewer women frequent these forums than men, it is because of the hostile environment. BitcoinTalk is not Saudi Arabia. We are not to stereotype any gender, profession, race, or location. What is Bitcoin about? Decentralization. Money in the hands of the peopleall people.

Women are integral parts of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Lindsay Holland is the assistant director of the Bitcoin Foundation. All top Bitcoin companies, including the former BitInstant, BFL, Mt. Gox, BitPay, etc., employ women. A woman owns the eminent Bitcoin stock exchange and options market, MPOE/MPEX. Bitcoin would not nearly be where it is now had not been for the tireless work and support of women. This fact must be respected, not dismissed. The stereotyping in this thread is simply unacceptable.

No one is forcing you to wear a hijab, you can drive and go to school, I don't think this comparison is appropriate and is in itself a misandristic statement attaching such stigma to a group of men who clearly do not act in such an extreme way regardless of how you personally perceive it.

This is what we need, more "feminists" coming into one of the small handful of predominantly male groups left, and blaming them for "excluding" women rather than just concluding like anyone with any common sense that some times MEN & WOMEN LIKE DIFFERENT THINGS. Next thing you will be ranting about how these horrible penis having terrors forcibly exclude women from engineering, architecture, and construction jobs, because it couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that MOST WOMEN HAVE NO INTEREST in these fields.

You are right tho, you should continue to try to infiltrate, accuse, and dismantle any place where men meet and discuss subjects freely as men, because women should be the only gender with the freedom to meet in predominantly gender similar groups. When men do it, it is just SEXIST!
