but most online communities are mostly male

It's it

males tend for anon platforms

females shine on social media

here is a question: if you have no way of knowing what someone's sex is, what sex do you default to online?

male

if the user doesn't correct you, how do you know you are correct?

before social media, there was NO incentive for women to be online

you are about to prove my point for me

I'm not saying there werent

I'm saying that overwhelmingly they were male

there was no incentive for them to be women online

the reverse

women always said they were women in the beginning

how do you know

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog

coz they always tried to get more power online

from BBSs to IRC

they still try the same in games, with some success

the classic joke is there are no women online. only men, men pretending to be women, and FBI agents pretending to be 13 yo girls

if there were a LOT of women, they would be competing between themselves

which they arent

they compete in social media, and thats pretty much it

even Youtube, that supposedly appeals to women, is mostly male

then you have twitch, you watch men if they are fun or good, you watch women for their looks

it really ruins the idea of equality, but they do it to themselves

so you think most women like being objectified?

most women would say "no" and lie

i was in a group. and only recently was a fairly sure the leader is actually female, although they refuse to post pics of themselves

I know where you were going from the start

they attracted two types of attention: thirst, and vindictiveness

that doesn't mean online it is full of females hiding as males

not all females like the former, none likes the latter

there is a difference between pretending to be male, and not telling someone you are female

there are lots of people i talked to online, who i have never ASK what sex they are

default is male

no reason to

you dont have to ask, after some time you will know

unless they are very deviant

i assume they are male, but they have never given a reason to tell me they are or are not.

you seem to have a low opinion of women
