High levels of estrogen and cortisol can change a person.
/r/MensRights must be very proud of you. I like /r/AndrogynousRights myself. |

Atlas is organising a Texas meet-up. I hope a woman Bitcoiner attends and punches him in the balls.
Kinky. |

Nothing is stopping from women joining in. People having certain opinions about humanoids with vaginas isn't banning women from this forum.
If they can't tolerate people having their own perspective, that's just too damn bad.
I'm not against a bit of 'harden the f**k up' as far as online speech goes, but I'm also not averse to initiatives to bring counter-voices in to verbally smack them down. As we saw with the whole jessy/vegetta thing - that can work pretty nicely. In the meantime - anyone should be able to smack down that crap whether or not they have penis and identify as male,female or something else; without retarded claims of 'white knighting'. Well - claim it if you want - but it's dumb. Nobody's *forcing* you to be a nice person Atlas, I'm just arguing for it in general as a measure which will a) make this place a little more representative of society as a whole (nearly half the potential population avoiding it isn't a good start) b) grow the Bitcoin userbase Do you really have a problem with that? I just don't find male:female ratios relevant at all. People associate as they please. There are plenty of cultural and psychological reasons for why there aren't many women here and it goes beyond misogynism. High levels of estrogen and cortisol can change a person. |

The fucking irony. You're the poster child for being unable to tolerate people having their own perspective - you label them "threats" to Bitcoin. I do accept their perspective. I just won't accept their potential actions and influence. |

I agree this forum is awful in that regard.
The only way around this is for women to be involved in the technology itself. When more women have visibility as code contributors and Bitcoin entrepreneurs - the misogynistic voices here will be smacked down quicker and harder.
It would be pointless for me to try to hide this forum from a womens advocacy group such as Ada Initiative when discussing Bitcoin with them.
It's got to start somewhere - and I don't apologize for holding this forum up as an example of something that's a bit broken, and that they may have the potential to begin to address.
You know, maybe if we didn't white knight women and treat them like some special kind of endangered creature, there wouldn't be a problem to perceive at all. |

Nope, that's been settled long ago in the Bitcoin currency talk page. As of 16. Aug. this year, the creation of this page? How is that settled? Just wait for the bastard wikipedia mod to show up... it's inevitable imo. It's notable. In fact, I talked with several mainstream editors about its notability. It's also distinct enough to have its own page. |

Nope, that was settled long ago in the Bitcoin currency talk page. It is too confusing to have technical, client jargon on a page centered on a currency-based ecosystem. |

I will in good time. For now, I am going to work on some papers for school.
Anyways, everybody is free to add a page.

Anyone? Starbucks, Four Seasons, etc. As big or as small as you want.
Let's see who is available then we will start talking dates and times.
What's in it for me? No, but really. What do you hope to accomplish or discuss? Just hang out? I wonder if it's worth giving up any privacy for. I'm also curious who is near Austin, though. I like things to be a gradual process. We discuss Bitcoin, events and just hang out at first. Then if our interests meet in a few places, we can possibly start something or help Bitcoin in some way. Standard networking, if you will. |

I'd be willing to make the trip from San Antonio as long as I'm available.
BTW, is this THE Atlas?
Yep. Est. 2009. |

If not, maybe the bitcoin foundation can establish it?
No. |

Keep moving forward. You are doing a fantastic job. Don't get sidetracked by a few critics. Most people here support you and even if not , they can create their own foundation or club.
i do support the bitcoin foundation i just (and only) have the fear that mtgox uses this power to convince all bitcoin businness to copy his definition of tainted coins. Why are you afraid of it? Did you steal anyone's wallet? Yeah, are you one of those terrorists? If you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to hide. Now let me check your genitals for STDs. |
