I don't think women are given too much shit on this thread, save one particularly drama-and-insult-filled thread. I find myself holding back from trolling down on the people I know are women. Men want to protect women; it's their instinct if they are decent human beings.

That's good to know, thank you, but that has not been my experience here.

LH66: Do women patronize gas stations and liquor stores where pornography is sold? It seems a fair analogy to merely the word porn appearing in someone's signature. You are taking quite a moral stance here, and I am not sure the rest of the world agrees with you.

It makes me very sad to think that, as a woman, I have to keep defending my objection to porn advertisements, as if I'm some sort of anomaly. Regardless, my question remains: where are the women? Why aren't they here? MIGHT it have anything to do with the issues I mentioned?

I hate to even get into this, but have women, historically, ever been into gaming in any form? That's what bitcoin is...a game where you kill blocks instead of orcs. I don't know many women who play Halo, but you can hardly claim that the game in and of itself is somehow driving women away.

Look around. The proof is in the pudding. I don't know why it is the way it is.
