<...> Also, I want it to be known that I'm a woman in this space (fully expecting trolls though). I think we need more women in bitcoin!
Looking over @piggy’s full profile database (generated at the beginning of December 2018), the gender field shows:
- Male value informed: 95.831 profiles (3,86% of all profiles)
- Female value informed: 20.308 profiles (0,82% of all profiles)
- Uninformed or invalid content: 2.365.131 profiles (95,32% of all profiles)
Therefore, the ratio, based on the informed gender field, is 4,7 male per female. Now I don’t really believe the above ratio too much. It’s what the data shows, but the gender is highly uninformed on the profiles, and I’ve seen quite a few bot bursts creating accounts and adding a gender randomly.
I guess that, due to the lack of female representation, it seems quite usual to refer to apparently male profiles as “she”, especially when the discussion scales a tone or two …
