If you're not sure if you're being sexist, use this guide:

Replace woman/girl/chick/babe/blonde/etc with "black guy".... if your post now sounds racist, it was sexist to begin with.  If it now sounds gay, it was *definitely* sexist.

The reason there are fewer women in tech is because of sexism.  That carries over in to bitcoin as well, yes, but that's not a reason to repeat the mistake here.  Maybe the universal appeal of bitcoin is a way to try to include more women and build out from there.  Hell, if you want to be completely mercenary, having the other 50% of the population interested in bitcoin will just drive up the price.

According to who? Then you can say there are less men in fashion because of sexism. Or there are less stay-at-home dad's because of sexism. Staying at home, raising kids, cooking meals and keeping a family together is no bullshit task.. it's full time work and there are far less men who do this job because they are discriminated and society looks down on men who don't work in an office.
