percentage of men and women here?


i know its impossible to determine for sure,
but FEELS LIKE about 25% here are women, vs 75% men?
does that seem about right?
I'm just curious.

It's kind of like everything else: some things/places are of more interest to one sex than the other.

Male here. I have noticed some women have gender non specific screen names so that can make it feel like there are more males. I tend to assume male unless a post tells me otherwise.

reply

I have no clue what you all are. Kind of makes it more interesting that way.

reply

About 85% male.

I thought this thing had left forever. It was constantly in the trending section recently. 😀

This should start trending as a sort of prequel!

Hard to say, the women on this site seem to come and go sporadically, especially as a certain subset of the men on here have become louder. I'm one of them so I know what I'm talking about. When you think one of them has finally given up, they pop back up again at random from the mists of time. Right now, I'd say it's something like 80M:20F

reply

women are equal to men... why don't women just become louder also?

reply

Does that sentence make real sense to you? "Women should become louder because...equality"?

Maybe the woman who frequent this site don't feel any urge to conform to the more vocal men on here; I doubt the rest of the people on this site experience that urge. Just speaking as a woman who frequents this site.

reply

Thus a realistic inequality of men and women: generally,
men fight back

reply

If you think that women don’t fight back, good luck to you when you go through your first divorce.

I say “first” ‘cause there will be others.

reply

So, that sentence does make sense to you then?

Also, no to that weird generalization. Mostly because it understates the position that men who don't fight back aren't men, and women who do fight back aren't normal. But also because it just doesn't have any place in this conversation or relate to anything. That it's not actually true should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway just in case you missed that.

Some people believe the earth is flat, but their belief doesn't make it true.

Quantifiable things exist, whether we like them or not. GENERALLY.

reply

Correct, some beliefs aren't based on verifiable data, or are based on data that opposes those beliefs, and so aren't true. Comparing yourself to a flat earther seems odd, but appropriate given it's another out of place statement. Also correct, quantifiable things do exist. Not sure what you're trying to point out by noting that obvious fact, as it has no bearing on this discussion, but I'm glad you know this.

reply

meaning, you not believing my sentence, doesn't make it not true.

GENERALLY
women walk away (back down)
men stand and fight - for their position, for better pay, for their woman, for land ownership... not saying it is RIGHT, just that it is. we are VERY unequal and will NEVER be equal.

cool SPIN attempt, BTW. but fail

reply

The only fail is you believing that sentence, but thinking that it has any relevance to why women don't post here as much as men is pretty close to one as well.

reply

it starts and ends with this:

women are equal to men... why don't women just become louder also?

you walked into it, proved it false and continue to do so

reply

What? And I mean this literally, what are you saying?

You're the one that posed the idea that for women to be heard, they should shout over the top of the more vocal posters, with your vague reasoning being "equality". But those posters aren't just loud, they also talk a lot of nonsense. So what would be the point of not only sinking to the same level as those posters, but also adding to the nonsense? In what way would that equate to equality? As if this is a conversation about equality in the first place. It's not, equality has nothing to do with anything being discussed here. And who would that benefit? Not the women, just the men wanting attention, which is why so many are standing on their soap boxes spouting very loud nonsense.

And this is why women are not as present on this site as men. Because they get badgered for just being here and contributing, however little that contribution amounts to. Carry on though, you don't seem to be interested in talking to women anyway unless you're trying to "own" them. I was just trying to have a conversation, but you just wanted to pose a question so you could spark a debate outside of the original topic - when there's nothing to debate.

ok :)

reply

LITERALLY, men dominate MOST of the internet. Why? I always assumed it is because most women simply have better things to do with their lives :)

reply

We all have better things to with our lives, but the internet is a welcome distraction for all of us, regardless of our biology.

( there's also a lot lot less female car mechanics. ;) discussion for anther day )

(((Not saying any counts are 'WRONG', we just have different, unequal interests, and there is nothing wrong with that)))
