Gender balance on forum?

Mostly men posting in that thread, though (not saying that should stop! just that i don't think it really reflects a greater volume of wimmins on le forum)

There's definitely more men here than not-men, and I expect the reasons are quite complicated, and include all the stuff that previous posters have mentioned, plus sports and cycling overall being male-dominated. There's not really a female equivalent of "MAMIL" in the popular consciousness, you know?

I've had run-ins with multiple blokes on here in the past who were weirdly interested in trying to intimidate me because they figured out I was a woman, and a lot of women just don't have the energy for that shit, so they lurk or don't give their gender away, or whatever.

It's a kinder, nicer forum these days, but it's history will have a long-term impact on gender balance, especially given that cycling doesn't seem as popular as it was 10 years ago (so fewer newcomers to replace the older members dropping off), and Reddit and Discord have also been slowly strangling BBS-style communities for ages now.
