Title: Re: Are you male or female? Post by: Mike Christ on September 28, 2013, 07:40:36 PM Bitcoin users are about 9 males out of every 10 people :P It's really not a female interest, and I'm really trying to understand how this happens...

Title: Re: Are you male or female? Post by: Mike Christ on September 28, 2013, 07:57:12 PM I was discussing this some days ago with a guy that think we should work on understanding this. Femal adoption is a key to the road for mass adoption. It's not normal we cannot gain intrest of our wives to bitcoin topics ??? I'm going to try to get my female friends interested in Bitcoin. I think the biggest issue is that they don't see one of the major reasons why Bitcoin is great, being its freedom from centralized sources--they don't quite grasp why that matters, and any libertarian can tell you that liberty is a complete sausage fest. But this just presents one more mystery... My best guess is that it's due to INTPs and INTJs being male-dominated personalities, who just happen to find Bitcoin fascinating, while NFs see it more for its liberating properties, but NFs are all over the place in their beliefs--it's not until Bitcoin becomes much wider spread and usable in everyday life that the sensory personalities, which make up over half of all people, and slightly more women than men, will really consider Bitcoin at all. But who knows. It's a common stereotype that this forum is full of a bunch of nerds and nerdiness is another sausage fest :P Title: Re: Are you male or female?

Femal adoption is a key to the road for mass adoption. It's not normal we cannot gain intrest of our wives to bitcoin topics ??? How many woman are software engineers? How many are mathematicians? How many are economists? Vastly less than the amount of men in these categories. I think it has something to do with skill and interest. All these areas are quite beta. In general men are better/more interested in beta subjects and woman in alpha. Don't worry, woman (will) enjoy the applications just the same :) Title: Re: Are you male or female?

It's a common stereotype that this forum is full of a bunch of nerds and nerdiness is another sausage fest :P It's all about computers and interwebs and programming and that stuff, this still is a male dominated sector, I studied computer/software engineering, something like 100 guys and less than 10 girls entered per year, I don't suppose that has changed... Look at all the geek/nerd stuff out there, Linux, file-sharing, gaming, you don't see many girls. Title: Re: Are you male or female?

Look at all the geek/nerd stuff out there, Linux, file-sharing, gaming, you don't see many girls. Yes, it's all very male-dominant. I don't believe males are pushing women out of these circles either; most of them seem more than open to women. Of course you have the off bigot but for the most part they're more amazed a lady could be interested in such things than against it, so I think that can be ruled out. There are also scholarships open specifically to women by various organizations to get them into technology, so I don't think that's an issue either. My next guess would be societal norms; I can only speak for America, but it's a common (yet diminishing, especially if we look toward the younger generations) stereotype for ladies to be either subservient to men, or more interested in "womanly" work; fathers want to teach their sons leadership roles and such, but rather the mothers teach their daughters more subservient roles--after all, that's what they learned, and that's what they want to pass on. Most of the women I've known have had an incredible interest in nursing; this is strongly tied to empathetic responses to the injured and sick, where women are oft more empathetic toward animals and other people than men are. At the same time, jobs in technology are more "cold", and often not oriented in the pursuit to directly help people (at least, not in the same way being a nurse would; of course technology is helping us greatly, but it doesn't have that immediate response sensing personalities need to feel they're doing something well.) The biggest question I have here is whether or not this is something woven into female genetics, or something beaten out of males, or something nurtured in women--perhaps both. The existence of people who feel great empathetic responses to harming animals but give fuck-all when a person is killed seem to support this idea; if you can train a person to hate their own kind, is it possible to shape how empathetic a person can be while growing up? Is a person's personality set in stone the moment they are born, or is it something which is fashioned? Evidence seems to point to the former, unfortunately; a person who goes through great traumatic stress can still be a loving, caring person, and a person with a wonderful childhood can still be extremely ordered and authoritarian.

Yeah, you write too much, but I agree, when I wrote "male dominated" was not in the misogynistic way, because we are very pleased in seeing more women entering this field, they just don't get so attracted to it as men. Before computer engineering I was in mechanical engineering, few women also. Title: Re: Are you male or female? Post by: xypos on September 28, 2013, 09:02:29 PM Title: Re: Are you male or female?
