Don't take it personally, but this is something I get a little tired of.  The forum statistics say clearly that one third of registered users here are female.  The problem is not getting female users online, it is getting rid of the idea that they already aren't.  For example, what gender am I?  If you stop to think about it, you assumed I was male, didn't you?

There do exist systemic forces that cause a gender disparity in highly technical or theoretical fields, but women are already online.  If they don't feel comfortable posting or identifying themselves, maybe it's not something with regards to them that has to be done.
