Why so few women?
« on: Yesterday at 04:12:29 PM »
In the 35 years I have argued about this case in various online forums, i have come across very few women who regularly participate in the discourse. I counted 25 names that are currently connected to this forum and they all appear to be male names. There have been a few women who were regulars over the years but it seems they have gotten fewer and fewer as time passes on. I have no explanation for this and I wonder if anyone else has a theory.

I think Kathy Becket over at the Ed forum was threatened a while back causing her to leave. So that doesn't help the situation.

Leslie Sharp was active too at the EF-JFKA, but I guess she was banned.

The EF-JFKA research community is primarily populated by aging males, ever re-hashing the same old arguments.

Though not woke to say it, men and women are different.

At any time, the top 100 chess players in the world are all men, or 99 men and one woman.

All over the world, boys like motorcycles and cars, and women like clothes and make-up.

Lori Spencer has done good work on the RFKA. There are exceptions.

Love and marriage advice columns seem heavily populated by women.
