I realize much of the thread is joking,
but that doesn't justify this outrageous sexism.
Yes, women use Bitcoin. Yes, they are sufficiently tech-savvy to do it. If you look at
this thread, you will find that over 7% of users on this forum are female. It is irresponsible to denounce almost 50% of the world population in this way.
If there's a reason that fewer women frequent these forums than men, it is because of the hostile environment. BitcoinTalk is
not Saudi Arabia. We are not to stereotype any gender, profession, race, or location. What is Bitcoin about?
Decentralization. Money in the hands of the people—all people.
Women are integral parts of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Lindsay Holland is the assistant director of the Bitcoin Foundation. All top Bitcoin companies, including the former BitInstant, BFL, Mt. Gox, BitPay, etc., employ women. A woman owns the eminent Bitcoin stock exchange and options market, MPOE/MPEX. Bitcoin would not nearly be where it is now had not been for the tireless work and support of women. This fact must be respected, not dismissed. The stereotyping in this thread is simply unacceptable.
Sweet Jesus, obviously there's no place to buy Midol with BTC!
