Bitcoin Forum

I am tired and annoyed of reading articles telling there is no women in bitcoin space..

Why are people writing articles like this?

if women are busy watching tv  let them watch..

Are we all feminist? 

Those who have what it takes to be involved in bitcoin, do get involved like Blyth masters, and do we complain about that?

are women going to solve the blocksize debate?

are they going to take bitcoin mainstream?

why the hell should we care about women in bitcoin space?

Yeah.  They are over thinking the issue...  Or just fanning the flames.  The media loves doing that.  I suggest ignoring it.

But whatever brings Bitcoin some attention is good if you think about it.

Females represent approximately 50% of the global population. Sure would increase the chances of mainstream adoption if a good chunk of them were "into it".

That pretty much is the reason right there.
Remember GEMZ? The mobile messenger that rewards users for using it with "Gemz". http://getgems.org/ (http://getgems.org/)
It was really marketed toward female instant message users on iphones and etc, since they tend to use messaging apps more then men.
Currently Gemz going rate is around 6000 sat, which I don't know if is good or bad. (Not following it).
It was an interesting idea, to introduce women into the crypto world, but my understanding is it didn't really work.

All the articles are not about getting women into bitcoin, they are more about the male domitation in the bitcoin world. Women who want to get involve will get involved but feminists don't care that. In fact, it is a good thing for them because in that way they can continue saying that the patriachy enforce the male-dominated bitcoin community. Because young white men blah blah blah (I am sure most of us are not white man- I am latin).

Victimization 101. That is about.   

Why the hell should we care about gender in bitcoin?

well they are about more then men, like 55% of the entire population is women, so it's not about the gender, but about numbers and adoption

In a sense the media is just trying to poke at bitcoin.

It is important to have women participate in the Bitcoin space just to have an increased userbase not as a pro equality policy though.
That said gender issues are less of a concern than having products and services that can attract male and female users to the ecosystem.
(I guess to be a bit bias we need more shoe stores clothing stores perfume/makeup services and spas taking Bitcoin to attract female users and make them feel fantastic by adding a discount package to it)

Got to attract them and leech them in efficently so they can't just let it go once they get started, aka get them addicted to it and we will see strong female adoption  ;).

Well the easy answer to the question posted by the OP, should be :

1. We should care, because women make up approximately half of the population of this earth. { http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sex_ratio }

2. We should care, because most of them are mothers, wives and daughters. {We do love them}

3. If they are excluded, shills will have more ammunition to spread FUD like this.

There you have it.... chew on that... and start to care.

Ps : Is this true..No... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uExxp0ND7mY

Yes, we should care the women, who take up half percent of our population. If one day bitcoin goes to mainstream, most of the women will adopt bitcoin as well. The problems we are facing now is that women are not tech geeks and aren't interested at it. They want somethings easy to use.

You should be


They account for half of humanity, that's why

Why should we care? We shouldn't! Who said we should?

I haven't seen any posts complaining there is no women in Bitcoin space but I have seen 2 posts saying "Am I the only girl here?"

well that is good question gender is not important in bitcoin, the most important thing is it's adoption and who is doing best role for it.
Bitcoin is not a gender currency but it is for all gender. we all have to work together about it's adoption and raise the public awareness about bitcoin.

Well this should pretty much answer the question for the lack of females in Bitcoin and everything science, which was also aired on BBC  
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/reality-check-with-polly-curtis/2011/dec/13/women-children

Satoshi didnt create bitcoin to be used for only man , but he created it in hope that it will become a worldwide decentralized currency which means it is a mass adoption usage by every people. So there is none to debate about this as if more women use it, it will be easier for bitcoin to be used by mass .

I guess since half of society is females its prety important for the overall balance of things.  Bitcoin is for the people right so everyone should be enjoying the design.  Its smart business sense to try and network.

People who are interested in Bitcoin should get involved with Bitcoin.  People who are not interested - should not.  It doesn't really matter what kind of junk you have between your legs. 

Why are we always trying to get woman advanced up by artificial means?  If women bring cool things, they will go up.  If not, then not.  Holding a cheerleading effort to say: 'Yeah women - go bitcoin' - is just silly and won't do anything to actually get women to participate in the development of crypto.

Bitcoin aim to become a universal currency. Everyone have to use it, not being stereotype but.. Bitcoin aim to be used by both females and males around the world. I also believe that there is already lot of females using Bitcoin.

Lets just be clear!

its not about women using bitcoin,

 but rather worrying about women not being there in the developmental and business space regarding bitcoin...

Collectivism. That's all it is.

It is about taking away the idea that we are individuals, but instead that we belong to some sort of "group". It serves the author's agenda to make people think of themselves as a collective. As long as they can put themselves into a high position among the collective by creating articles that bash those outside of the collective. Same thing is done with race, sexual preference, wealth, etc.

Hmm...seems there is a good amount of women in the Bitcoin space.

Just to name a few....

I have seen a large thrust in the US to get rid of any amount of being a man that they can find.

Every sitcom shows the man as a dope who just needs to get out of the way while the woman handles things.

The idea that a new industry can be dominated by capable men goes counter to the storyline and needs to be squashed.

I am so glad that it is a big world and not all women are American.

How many women were involved in the creation of the internet in the mid to late 80's and early 90's? It's unfortunate, but that's the way it goes in the tech world, it's very male dominated.

We are all individuals, and we also all belong to the group sentient beings of Earth, which is a tiny subset of the group Life. Both our longstanding individuality and our nascent collective bonds as citizens of Earth should be respected and preserved.

Lol, actually no one care about woman in bitcoin.
But when someone asking is there any woman on bitcoin, there's u will know that we curious is there any woman there.  ;D

If you are not smart enough to understand that half the world is female and they tend to spend the most in kinda 3/4 human households you either have no clue how the world became so full with the human kind or you probably think only man got the planet this far.

But you can be happy, woman will not invade the crytpo coin world Soon (tm)
They want nothing todo with this so easy (NOT) and usefull boy toy (unless the boy tells her she get 10.000 bucks a piece for them and then she yells sell that crap now so i can buy new shoes, dress, lingerie)

People love to just ignore the fact that many women are into Bitcoin already....There were pictures in this very thread too. lol

On the other hand bitcoin world seems to care quite much about Africa in bitcoin space

I have never seen anybody to wonder why the hell does somebody care about Africa?

What is it in women that riles up strong objections if somebody considers their existence or validity, but on the other hand Africa is welcomed with open arms and discussed with nobody objecting?

Because men like women... ;D

That is only part of it. The other part is that nerds hate women.

People ignoring the visual and hard evidence that show many women are already involved in Bitcoin are stuck in the "Status Quo" mode.  Some people like to see what they see and hear what they hear only.

http://www.troll.me/images2/grammar-correction-guy/ignant.jpg

People living true equality don't bring up the gender in the first place. If you care what gender someone has, you're the sexist, not us.

Fucking feminazis.

Edit: Bringing the distribution of men and women to 50:50 everywhere is complete bullshit. What's important is that someone who wants to pursue a certain interest can actually do so. Forcing a 50:50 balance regardless of interests and factual differences of the genders is what's wrong with this false feminism these days.

So someone running a Bitcoin business is female? Good, what does it matter? Bitcoin is an interest pursued mostly by men? Gee, that must mean it's an endeavor that men somehow find more interesting than women do. Doesn't mean women are oppressed from pursuing it.

False feminists keep preaching sexism while the reality is that women can do what they want already. It just so happens that their interests are actually different because the genders are actually different, physically and neurologically. You can't preach that away. Fucking feminazis.

Edit: I re-read that, were you referring to others? (sorry for my orginal post if so) I'd agree some people are just never going to get past the need to say "women," (meaning all) instead of "many women," which is actually accurate.

There is no need to spend time in thinking that why women are not in bitcoin space. Women are not aware about the bitcoin yet they are simply busy in hanging around with friends watching telvesion etc etc. so let them do that in what they are the best and there is no concerned with gender when it comes to bitcoin community.

I was supporting your post, dude, not calling you ingnant.

I'm the one that put the images of the many successful and accomplished women in the Bitcoin space.

Yeah, I just re-read your post and edited mine. It was a little ambiguous, sorry I didn't catch the true meaning the first time. :P

(It sounded to me like you were saying the women were stuck in the "status quo" instead of the men who don't believe women are into bitcoin.)

There are a lot of women in bitcoin now. But you won't see them here with the misogynistic nutaratti.

This ^^^

I'm sure most of the women who have checked this forum out have seen the sexist comments. And most of them have either left or have hidden their gender from their profile.

I think involvement of women in bitcoin space will make a huge difference in bitcoin community. Their involvement in bitcoin will have a great impact in increasing the community as a whole and the value of and the size of bitcoin will rise up.

I don't.  I figure that will take care of itself over time.

In general there are less female gamers, there are less females in a host of fields.  Who knows why, and I'm not going down the road of trying to figure it out.

Over time, this works itself out.

GetGems for iOS just got released today, the feature where the whole app is about (advertisement model) is not implemented yet. I'm waiting for some iOS bug fixes and i will definitly introduce some girls to the app.

Thread has been won. Good game, gentlemen.

There are benefits to having a mixed gender team that may or may not be worth it in some situations.

But the whole debate / research, which is highly needed, is being drowned by the giant shit-show of feminists going against any logic to seek a "fair representation" (50%) of woman everywhere.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2014/12/18/are-you-more-productive-at-the-office-when-your-team-includes-both-genders/

There are no checks (Australian greetings?) in the Bitcoin protocols that only allow men to use Bitcoin. As Satoshi is a woman, that would make no sense. How would she build, test, implement and use Bitcoin if she added such checks?

In that case, woman are free to use and be involved with Bitcoin as they see fit.

So really, who cares who cares?

Women have 50% of all the money in the world and 100% of all the pussy!  Yet these feminist bitches keep complaining  ::)

We need co-ed boxing!

Part of it is just the media's desire to produce profitable 'outrage porn' for the Facebooking lumpenbourgeoisie's conspicuous consumption.

But the larger story is that Bitcoin technology is the ultimate threat to the statists.  They need to find reasons to make us look guilty of something, so the Nanny State can justify its existence.

Wow. Tons of sexist bullshit in this thread.

I read this misogynistic filth outloud to my girlfriend, and she said if she ever met you in real life she'd be more than happy to break your ignorant face.

BTW women control less than 20% of the world's capital. They do produce most of the world's food though, and all the children.

Women are among the biggest group of spenders and potentially the one that would accept bitcoin and bring it to mainstream adoption. Too bad bitcoin has not yet been really successfully in the retail section. Imagine swiping the phone to pay for the designer clothes and you are good on the go.

Well if we want bitcoin to be taken seriously and not be viewed as the exclusive domain of libertarian-leaning, male, neckbeards then we should care about women in the bitcoin space.  I just don't understand why any bitcoin owner would be angry at any effort to bring more people into the fold.  Isn't that the best way to increase the value of your coin?

Women who matter influence men who matter and I can assure you it is FAR over 50% of the worlds capital.

Yes they do birth 100% of the children too.  ::) Very observant of you.

PS: I'd kick your gf's ass.  Tell her I expect her to be the first sign up for Co-ed boxing :D ;)

Fixed your statement for 90s nostalgia value.  Change "the internet" to "BBS" or "Usenet" for an 80s look.  Use "CB/ham radio" for 70s style.

This stupid argument never goes away, because stupid people always find a way to make it current and updated with the latest innovative man-fad.

The "anger" is actually resentment of the idea we should feel guilty about a particular demographic skew, loathe ourselves for it, and patronize the underrepresented with pleadings/incentives for them to join us (as if they are absent external assistance too inferior to figure it out).

Lowered expectations are a form of soft bigotry, and you're soaking in them.

We should care about women in bitcoin space just imagine women's population is say approximately 45 to 50% in the world and if women start adopting bitcoins and its gonna be great deal.
And just imagine about the bitcoin community..its gonna go long way..mainly they will use bitcoins in buying designer clothes  ;D

I care about women in space.

Can they breath? The pressure? How did they get there?

Let them be, where they intend to be. We don't need to drag them. If they decide to join the community then good, but if they do not, that's entirely upto them. So we don't need to make a huge fuss about this.

singling out women not participating in the bitcoin space is stupid because the real problem isn't that women aren't participating in bitcoin; it's that PEOPLE are not participating in bitcoin.

Bitcoin is not "white males". It's a very, very, very small subset of "white males", along with a smattering of other racial/sex composition.

Of course "women" are not participating, when in reality, only a very small amount of PEOPLE are participating in this in the first place.

These people act high and mighty, as if they're doing something righteous by bringing "women" into everything, when in fact, it's extremely hypocritical because they're the ones that are separating "women" from the rest of society, not anyone else. Why aren't they complaining that bakers aren't using bitcoin? Or Chefs? Or accountants? It's extremely damaging to both women, and the thing these hypocrites against, which, in this case, is bitcoin.

@Joe B: Sorry. I thought you were one of those self-righteous idiots, but your post this page shows that you are simply delusional.

Gender will not make any difference in Bitcoin community Women have their own stuff and they wont show their interest in bitcoins as they have many other areas for interest like watching tv shopping etc ;D so if they are getting all these without bitcoins why should they get involved in bitcoins??

If this thread is representative of the Bitcoin community at large, it's no wonder women don't want anything to do with it.

Participation of women in bitcoin can make a huge difference to bitcoin community. As they are very much interested in shopping so they can take bitcoins positively and start investing and adopting it i hope their husbands would be really happy if these womens become independent when it comes to shopping  ;D

Pitty them, none of these guys have had a relationship with a women. And the future is not looking bright.  :-[

I think I'll do something. Today I am going to recruit a few women to use bitcoin. I am going to give away $10 in BTC to ten women. All they have to do is use it. Spend it, donate it, whatever.
Since I am aware that all you guys will turn into women for $10 I'll do it in real life. 

There are many reasons woman make up less than 10% of Bitcoin users:

1) They tend to be Risk Averse and bitcoin is still very risky
2) Technology, programming and Cryptography is dominated by males (women tend not to be interested in these fields )
3) Forex, currency trading and speculative investing is male dominated (Women tend not to be interested and are likely risk averse)
4) Bitcoin has libertarian and an-cap roots which is also male dominated (likely risk aversion and state dependency or inclination to collectivist philosophy plays a role)

We should care about the lack of women in our ecosystem as they constitute half the human population.

These aren't merely problems that can be solved with marketing to women or not being "mean on the internet".  We can change these statistics a bit with some clever marketing or a "wallet" designed for women but bitcoin will likely remain male dominated.

I suggest we work on this disparity but lets be realistic as well and acknowledge that it will remain male dominated for some time in the future.

Our best bet is getting them involved in bitcoin with a killer app that doesn't involve any of the math , cryptography , political theory , of disinflationary currency directly but uses bitcoin without the user being aware. I.E... a innovative social networking app that allows women to use the blockchain and leverage its advantages.

Why _should_ we work this disparity? We should work on how women are treated when they actually enter the field on their own, not drag them into a field against their interest.

What would you think if women suddenly started to drag you into being a kindergarten worker when you have absolutely no interest in working with children?

Let the interests find their field on their own and stop looking at some imaginary disparity that ought to be removed.

Agreed, bitcoin is an open source project that anyone can work on and with with no barriers to entry. The disparity is mainly a result of them not being interested.

We can and should care and there are a few things we can do to fix this problem but we don't need to drag them into it or bribe them to get involved as that is a form of sexism. They will eventually get involved when it starts to go mainstream because they will have to.


This is a good idea and I have personally done this as well. It needs to be done with all people though like Roger Ver has done.
Here is a video of an example- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLURFKKHDKU

Film the interactions so you we can learn from the experiment and see if their are any problems with the UI of the wallets or signup process.

Ignant!

The real sexist people are the ones who try to separate "women" and "men" in everything. If they weren't sexist, they'd view everyone as people.

Consider most people don't try to separate people as "taxi drivers" or "farmers" or "teachers" every chance they get. Those that do are the smug idiots who think they're better than people with "lower" jobs.

It's the same thing with sex. Only a sexist would so consciously separate women and men in every single thing.

You seem to be mostly on point with your post, but your annoyance with people referring to Satoshi as a woman also shows that you still don't "get it." You seem either conflicted or ignorant. I am guessing by your posts that you are a teenager and/or just trying to promote your signature.  Either way I'm done with you ;)

Uh huh. More ad hominem attacks with no substance. I'm guessing you're either a delusional drunkard, or just trying to promote your yacoin. Either way, it seems you're hopeless.

I think this issue going to resolve itself. Nobody want to keep woman away from bitcoin. Actually the opposite is true. I think it's all about marketing. If you take a look at the community here you will find a bunch of nerds an other bunch of speculators and a lot of "save the world" type blokes. In short: lots of boring ppl with ridiculous ideas about how to make something appealing for women :).

Nice one. I'll video or photo it.
I'm at work and, although there are a lot of women here, it may take all day. I say that because the first two I asked declined. :D They were unsure about installing a wallet app and unclear about what BTC is. I did not think giving away money would be this hard.

Actually they seem pretty smart. I wouldn't participate either when someone walks up to me and suggests installing some software I know nothing about, and promising me "money" for it.

The whole idea to get people involved in Bitcoin this way seems rather stupid.

Chances are they may be completely unfamiliar with it and therefore declined. You may have to indirectly get them comfortable with it by having lunch with a few of them at a restaurant that accepts Bitcoin, paying your bill in bitcoin and than getting them curious. When they start asking about it explain its just the future of money and that you saved 20% on your last amazon order with purse.io. This will get them interested and asking questions and than you can offer to install a wallet and send them a bit of spending cash to play with.

Very few women are interested in the political , technological or philosophical reasons for using bitcoin from my experience thus you have to appeal to their interests and not drone on about things which bore or confuses them. This may sound a bit sexist but represents reality from the many women I have discussed Bitcoin with. There are unique angles to approach every demographic with Bitcoin. I wouldn't discuss the technology behind bitcoin with most men over 60 years of age as an example , but discussing the politics or philosophical implications works with some in that category. There are exceptions to every rule of thumb of course - I.E... If I knew of a woman that was an anti- war activist I may discuss how bitcoin allows her to defund the warmongers and neoconservatives with agorist principles.

Maybe try coinbase or blockchain wallet?

agree. we shouldn't  separate community members in male and female, we just need more member in community no matter if they are male or female, specially asking for female looks like a stupid question, everyone who love technology should involved in this.

One of my favorite posts of all time:

Beautiful... but in all seriousness wallets like Kryptokit and airbitz are probably more appealing to women. Design also does play a role too... that is why social platforms like pinterest have much higher levels of females 68% than males 32%.

A "coffeemeetsbagel.com" app that used the bitcoin blockchain could really get women using bitcoin.

Design and features do matter and appeal to the sexes differently and rolling out more apps and wallets geared towards women could shift the stats slightly.

This "Born To Shop" stuff is right. It's part of the reason that a lot of guys turn homosexual. No matter the game the woman plays, if you want her, you have to realize that she is always "Born To Shop." Her game will match you at every turn until she gets out of you what it takes to shop.

:)

Commercial applications will get more women to use Bitcoin - most women don't use OpenOffice, but many use Microsoft Office.

For most women it needs to be easy with a well-known company behind it.

One down. This is going to take a while.

Good work. Yes, It usually takes me multiple conversations and months to get converts.

Participation of women can make a huge difference in bitcoin community , If they participate actively then can know there is something better then credit cards too. As ratio says that women uses more credit card then a men so i their presence in community can be profitable.

It's absolutely hilarious how people can claim to be well-meaning and try to bring women "into Bitcoin" by saying that women only care about shopping or "For most women it needs to be easy with a well-known company behind it." and generally treating them like little shopping addicts who can't help it.

The idiocy is staggering.

This guy hit the nail on the head.

Women love to shop and spend money. Get btc into retail and women will be the biggest btc spenders by far. Guaranteed.

Most women currently don't care much about new technologies. That's not an opinion - I'm just stating a fact.

There are a few exceptions and I'm glad that they exist. The world would be boring if everyone liked the same things.

I just find the logic in this flawed - acknowledging on the one hand that women have different interests and then trying to use that difference to achieve equality "in Bitcoin".

Just stop looking at the damn numbers. It doesn't matter how many percent of Bitcoin users are women. Stop bringing up the gender at all and treat everyone who has an interest in Bitcoin equally. Part of the problem is treating women specially and putting them in the spotlight.

Noone gives a crap about the gender distribution among kindergarten workers, why Bitcoin?

I doubt anyone is insinuating all women exhibit those characteristics.
Before calling people idiots and trying to act overly PC, lets look at the facts. Lets face reality, women and men are indeed different and in mature economies women control most of the spending within a household:

"For example, women in the US control 73% of household spending :"
http://www.marketingcharts.com/traditional/women-in-mature-economies-control-household-spending-12931/

"Women make the decision in the purchases of 94% of home furnishings…92% of vacations…91% of homes… 60% of automobiles…51% of consumer electronics"
https://hbr.org/2009/09/the-female-economy

Women control the majority of purchasing decisions in a household and their influence is growing.
http://www.nielsen.com/us/en/insights/news/2011/when-it-comes-to-spending-decisions-women-are-in-control.html


Women account for 85% of all consumer purchases including everything from autos to health care:
91% of New Homes
66% PCs
92% Vacations
80% Healthcare
65% New Cars
89% Bank Accounts
93% Food
93 % OTC PharmaceuticalsAmerican women spend about $5 trillion annually…
Over half the U.S. GDP

http://she-conomy.com/facts-on-women

http://www.catalyst.org/knowledge/buying-power

I'm not trying to "achieve equality in Bitcoin". I just want Bitcoin to be widely used. Most people on this planet are female. That's it.

Because Bitcoin represents something much more fundemental to the world and the economy than a specific job occupation.

We don't need to give special attention to women , but it does help to know, understand, and empathize with our different target audiences when discussing bitcoin whether they are a 70 year old vietnam vet male goldbug or a 29 year old black lesbian. Completely different audiences and bitcoin has something to offer both of them.  

You make an excellent point: Women have different interests. Why should we need to use those interests to achieve an equal number of male and female Bitcoin users? Don't you see the contradiction in that argument?

Again: stop looking at the numbers and treat everyone equally and those with an interest will feel welcome.

Increasing Bitcoin acceptance in general is definitely needed. But that's got nothing to do with women anymore which was kinda... the topic of this thread and of the replies that focused on getting specifically women to be "into Bitcoin" more. And I think the OP was more about women as developers and entrepeneurs of Bitcoin-related businesses and not just mere users who couldn't care less about what actual currency they're using.

In Canada here I frequently used to see women lining up at Bitcoin ATM machines, they just aren't running around broadcasting to their world that they use it. Recently though these machines put up a ton of barriers to simply walking up and selling/buying so don't see as many people as i used to using them, I also don't use them myself anymore because of too many bugs, plenty of times I've dumped money in and received nothing in return or was asked to phone some non attended number for "further identity verification" for even small payments like $200.

People judge bitcoin by the amount of shysters in the media shilling their "disruptive startup" but on the user front it's a different story.

This may have been stated already, but no one is excluding females from this new technology. I believe I share the same desire as many of you to get as many people involved in the bitcoin as possible. In order to do that, acquisition and spendability, if that is a word, need to be simplified. Not just for women but for main stream adoption. I know plenty of people, men and women, who are completely stupid when it comes to anything technical.

As women are mainly dependent on Credit Cards it's really difficult to convince them to go for Bitcoins. And as Bitcoins need Investment at initial stage women won't agree to it. Problems with women is they want all for the cheap and in return they don't want to sacrifice anything.

Bitcoin represents a powerful technology that can benefit both male and female interests(but not xxy/xxyy mosaics as they are too freaky and will leave you lonely and begging for more... they don't deserve bitcoin  >:( ). All I am suggesting is that it will be great for us to understand these differences and develop solutions to benefit both males and females. I am under no delusion that we can attain a 50/50 ratio or should even attempt it at this stage.


Everyone should not be treated equally... but differently. I have never claimed preferential treatment to women, in fact I have explicitly claimed otherwise.


Both a sexist statement that also has a lot of truth behind it. For good or bad reasons women are more risk averse.

Here is at least one woman's take on the issue...
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/0d52ab06-ef41-11e4-a6d2-00144feab7de.html#axzz3Yvuh1GyZ

Walled.

most of them are gold diggers which will positively affect the bitcoin price once the care bears hand it over to them on a silver platter so... their greed helps me in a way

The percentage of women interested in bitcoin is a measurement of how appealing bitcoin is to the less tech savvy and conservative population. I think there are more women interested in bitcoin than we know. I have met women who has bitcoin and don't often talk about it.

We need to care about men in bitcoin space because that's the creatures that get things done.  :D

No, seriously. Don't let your mind be fucked by the feminist vermin. Women who want to be involved and have what it takes are already here. Nobody is ever going to complain about them.

What these feminist marxists are asking for are handouts and freebies because they are disabled and feel inferior which is none of our problem. Do not let them get a foot in the door because if they do that will mean being gay is mandatory and men will be handicapped in the name of feminism. Let Obama care for these single moms.


We shouldn't.

Feminism is on ignore. Feminists have time and time again shown, they are neurotic bunch of nazis.

More stereotyping, but you are probably right.  ;D
We definitely need more women on board to increase Bitcoin adoption.

Any known projects integrating bitcoin with Pinterest?

Because we don't want having fame of BTC being a nerd man-only thing. If we want mass adoption, in other words success, we need to get women into it too. Women are a biggest % of world's population after all.

Absolutely, we spend alot & we love to see bitcoin better much up retail, I really dnt see why there should be all this flare on women its not fair enough there are women up in bitcoin and increasing as the day goes by.
