for me an own forum category for women is the opposit of emancipation.
women are people, men are people
people meet here to talk about money. i dont care about the gender at all
Topic: Forum Category for Female Bitcoiners - page 2. (Read 1170 times)
There's just not enough women here to constitute an entire section for women; also, the last time a thread was started geared towards women, it was trolled to death by the usual riff-raff that have difficulties seeing women as people.
I want a forum category for men then...
With Poker and Hookers
seriously: we dont need it.

I was thinking about the merits of having a forum category aimed at and for female bitcoiners to use.
The fact is that the Bitcoin ecosystem is predominately male territory, and the fact that the only aspect that was geared towards women was the now defunct "Girls Gone Bitcoin" only served to reinforce a particular stereotype in the community.
While I have nothing against that - it's a free market - I do feel that as the leading Bitcoin forum on the web BitcoinTalk could set an example by creating a new subforum as a place for real Bitcoin related discussion between women on topics that are relevant to them.
Speaking for myself as a man trying to encourage his wife to get into Bitcoin - it would be great if there was a place I could tell her to visit and find out she wouldn't be alone, and try to break through some of those stereotypes that we all agree are going to be barriers to mass adoption in the long run.
Any chance of this happening? I can only see this as a positive, perhaps there is a female leader in the forums already who would like to take ownership and moderate this?
Thoughts/discussion people?
