Specifically on Bitcointalk, if we go by the "gender" profile field we get:
It took me a bit to find the post where Id provided this Information before:
<
> Looking over @piggys full profile database (generated at the beginning of December 2018), the gender field shows:
- Male value informed: 95.831 profiles (3,86% of all profiles)
- Female value informed: 20.308 profiles (0,82% of all profiles)
- Uninformed or invalid content: 2.365.131 profiles (95,32% of all profiles)
Therefore, the ratio, based on the informed gender field, is 4,7 male per female. Now I dont really believe the above ratio too much. Its what the data shows, but the gender is highly uninformed on the profiles, and Ive seen quite a few bot bursts creating accounts and adding a gender randomly.
I guess that, due to the lack of female representation, it seems quite usual to refer to apparently male profiles as she, especially when the discussion scales a tone or two
The male to female ratio is the same as that on the official stats.
I dont particularly trust the sincerity of the declared values on this field, and there could indeed be quite a large set of people that state a specific gender in accordance to how they believe will be more beneficial to their interests. Isolating the profile values that have been declared we get 82,5% male for 17,5% female. The latter value seems pretty inflated though.
