You could start by treating women with respect rather than making repeated sweeping generalizing statements about what YOU think is the reason women haven´t embraced Bitcoin.
Herunland I must have deeply offended you, since you really attacked me personally in your response. I am Sorry. U are certainly the type of community member we need more of.
I do not think that i disrespect woman by acknowledged that what I like is not automatically what they like, please understand that's what pointed out.
I was looking at the topic from a marketing/focus group perspective. there is no judgement. i believe anyone should do and like whatever they want. being able to acknowledge differences without judgement is actually required in my eyes to respect.
I feel a lot of ignorance from the bitcoin community. I feel that we often believe the world should think they way we do which is simply not helpful when we are a less than a 1% minority in society.
@knircky, you did not offend me deeply, nor did I intent to attacked you personally. I merely pointed out that you cannot generalize or theorize about what other people´s motivation may be to join the bitcoin community or stay away. If you do not yourself belong to that particular group of people (in this case, women) it really doesn´t matter what your theory is about why we act as we do. As you yourself stated, there is diversity of opinion regardless of gender.
The point being that women definitely will not be motivated to join the presently male-centered bitcoin community when they are immediately being confronted, labeled and belittled by their male peers about what might be their motivation to be interested in this particular subject. As others have mentioned here, it doesn´t really matter, we are all working toward to same goal (I hope) of bringing equal access to the world of finance to all.
The fact that I have vigorously defended the women´s viewpoint in this thread is not because I was somehow personally offended, but because I felt I needed to speak out on behalf of the voiceless majority of women who don´t have the courage to do so themselves or are tired of confronting male stereotypes propagated here and on other bitcoin forums around the internet.
