Topic: Behaviour on the Speculation board: women not welcome? - page 3. (Read 8106 times)

You're a joke, OP.

Starting with a reasonable observation ("kinda unfriendly atmosphere for women") and then you nonchalantly let fly:


Ergo: You're not one bit better than those you resent.

Fuck off. That's my professional, gender neutral opinion.

This reminds me of a thread that was made complaining about the racists on this forum, this is a classic thing of not using your brain and clicking that ignore button at the bottom of a persons profile. These people spam the boards and deliberately try to upset people like you because it's easy, don't fall for their traps and make a huge deal about it.

As has been said many people being complained about on this forum are on my ignore list as well, usually they just go away after awhile because they're being attention whores and trying to upset people People have the right here to say whatever they want, but you also have the right and the ability to ignore them without pestering everybody else to do something about it.

The fact that the second reply was "Get back in the kitchen" really surprises me!
I mean it took to long according to community's standards  

....also cleaner bathrooms if only there were more unisex restrooms.
and a more organized man-cave.

@nanobrain  - Don't get me wrong. I think there's plenty wrong with 'people'. You're right about rape, it's not funny because it's threatening.

I think what you're missing is both sexes are bad - they're just bad in different ways. Doesn't make one worse than the other but it does make them harder to compare.

Sure, men wave their di*ks around, women manipulate with their bodies. It's the way we were built.

Are either sex capable of bad behaviour? Yes.

Are the types of behaviour the same? No.

Imagine if I were to go to a baby forum and claim there was so much oestrogen-fuelled posting or talk of 'how to trap your man' and start posting "you women are so bad" comments. I'd have a point but I'd be missing the bigger picture.

All people have the potential for good/bad behaviour. It doesn't matter the gender.

As sad as it is, a better and more general title for the this thread would be:

If you aren't libertarian, or if you aren't male, or if you aren't a computer programmer, or if your favorite movie is not The Matrix, or if you want to challenge facets of bitcoin, or if you want to challenge all the stereotypical traits of male, socially challenged, geeky, forum dwellers, and if you act like you're older than sixteen, or if you don't like to use the word 'Statist' in every other sentence, and if you think people are idiots for believing in conspiracy theories, then you're not welcome here.

She's right, the Bitcoin world is insanely sexist.  It's not subtle, I'm not sure how you can deny it. 

Like some months ago when a woman made a vlog on youtube wherein she specifically reached out to other women, encouraging them to get involved with Bitcoin.  Then she posted it to the bitcoin subreddit, stating explicitly that it was an outreach to women.  The top voted comments were all from men saying stuff like, "look, we get it, you're looking for attention, but this really isn't doing it, you should try posting to girls gone bitcoin".  I felt like my eyes were about to start bleeding when I saw those responses.

Don't all these young guys realize that if the other half of the human race adopts bitcoin they'll be twice as rich?

nah, it's just that women are inferior when it comes to sports. there was a thread about it on reddit the other day. serena williams, possibly the best women's player in the world, lost a match against a world rank 200ish player... who drank and smoked during the game.

i don't think that makes me sexist though.. because it's just true 

or are the sports that are pushed by the media skewed toward male abilities?

there are some female biathletes out there that are straight up wicked dangerous



or what about  Kenda Lenseigne

they're all just labels. if you label feminist as believing in equal rights, then i guess i'm a feminist. if you refer feminism to ball-busting, blame everything on alpha males.. then i am not one.

the male version of a feminist, at least in its negative connotation, as the male version of a misogynists.. the kind that threaten female actors because they play ball-busting characters. they are both extremists.

let's make one thing clear though: women suck at sports.

see nan, there you go, you have just succeeded at reinforcing these boys' view of feminism as a no sex, no fun, shame and censorship movement...thanks


boys, feminism is none of that, feminism is about your sisters having an equal shot, about women as valued partners in society, something I think the vast majority of young people accept pretty much by default


once we dispense with that, then we can move on and have fun and enjoy being human

yeah, sorry but.. i agree with the guys. equating prostitution with human trafficking sounds.. feminist to me.

Trying to put me in the same group as rapist, a promising start.

You're uncertain.

Then you proceed to give me a link about human sex trafficking, which has absolutely nothing to do with whether porn and prostitution is moral.

It never cease to amaze me how often this turns out to be the case, the fact that your so old you could probably be my mother confirms this suspicion.

Where did this whole rape and abuse thing come from all of sudden? I don't see myself defending either.

You believe that age and wisdom is always a correlation. Another fallacy.

If you can't handle it, stay away from it. What do you want to do? Arrest them ?

You sure are, now what does that have to do with anything exactly?

What's interesting is that if you look at the stats (I'm not sure about the US but in the UK and AU definitely) males have been overtaken by females at school in subjects such as maths and science. 

Anyway, BTC is approaching my sell-level so I'm off for a trade or three: a girl's gotta make a dollar.

i don't think porn and prostitution are the same thing as human sex trafficking.

again nan, you are falling into his trap by equating feminism with a shaming, anti sex worldview, this is a losing position, please don't

Wow, what an interesting response: so, it's my fault....my first thought is that's the sort of defence rapists use.

Porn and prostitution are morally OK... a very dubious intellectual position.
Perhaps read this before replying...there are plenty of links but I chose the FBI one because I think you are in the US...apologies if I'm wrong.

I'm just envious of prettier girls LOL....so automatically, a woman who doesn't hold your views is an ugly, old socialist dyke.  I don't regard myself as either politically active or a feminist FYI.

But old...guilty as charged...I'm probably old enough to be your mother....I'm guessing you have a mother, perhaps a sister or partner - how would you feel if she was raped/abused/sold to the sex-slave trade?  And how would you feel if that rapist had nurtured their fantasies on the internet?

I'd say holding very extreme views like you have (re. prostitution and porn) often invites the fates to test them out. I sincerely hope they don't.

But it's interesting that you say 'Young males'...which seems to imply that older, wiser heads understand the issues? You're probably right.

And I think this word "troll" has become an easy 'get out jail' card for people to say any sort of ugly, spiteful shite and justify it..."I was only joking".  Words have power especially in medium that is virtually souly word-based.

I'm not trying to convert people to feminism...ah, read the posts above....but as I said to someone else you seem to be speaking from a position of social power.  And as a white, middle-class female I can say I'm pretty lucky compared to many of the women around the world .

well, i can't disagree with you. it's a trend i have noticed too, but women aren't naturally aren't attracted to technology or economics/currency as much as men are. if anything, the men here are probably more nerdy.. so it would be nice if other women were into BTC, so we'd have an excuse to talk to them  

the males here are alpha for certain, but i don't think they are as bad as sociopath wall streeters.

Personally, I see a lot of huge tits

I do have a sense of humour!!

My point with all this is that BTC appears to be dominated by men who ironically hold very similar values to the men who run fiat.

If we want to change the world we are all going to have to change our attitudes and try being more respectful to each other and understand that images/words on the internet have power.

As a mod here with whom I have had an interesting discussion said:
"I'm sure you will find it true in many more ways that some of us have become the very things we used to abhor."

Instead of trying to change the behavior of men you may want to take a deep look at yourself. There is nothing wrong with objectifying women, and women objectify men all the time. Porn is morally right and so is prostitution. To me this looks like a topic about an envious feminist lost in male dominated space. If you're going to convert people to your ideology this is certainly not the place! Young males can see right through your feminist bullshit. I'd rather look into political parties for socialist or something. It's much more likely to find males who can surrender to your world view there.

I'm secretly laughing my ass off at this topic, I'm sorry. But when you get offended by a "trollbox", it's not just the people there who have problems.

There is an ignore button, and I really don't see why you didn't use it on that one person who posted "porn" in the wall observer thread if those prettier girls bothers you so much.
