First of all there's no such thing as 'female DNA.'
Second I would propose your anecdotal reports are not actual data.
Women are often ignored or passed up by those telling history, so it's no wonder a male dominated society would make it appear most _____ are male.

A good example of this removal of women from history is the moon landing, recently people have used photos of an all male control room to claim women are just not that good at science and math.  Not realizing that the lander code and much of the mission math was done almost entirely by women, who's role was dismissed by many.

So of course at quick glance almost all fields look male dominated.




    Excellent feedback, thank you....

My question is purely hypothetical and in no way is intended to imply any sort of scientific rigor.

  But yeah!, it's clear that on the surface things appear to be somewhat male dominated in psychonautics and in psychedelic music.... I did see part of a lecture recently and unfortunately I can't remember the woman's name but she was definitely a super hardcore tripper and very rigorous in her approach to documenting her experiences. Deprivation tanks remote locations in isolation and so on. Definitely a true psychonaut.... Really enjoying this conversation by the way! :-)

I'm pretty sure most women think very differently than most men. I know there are always exceptions, but it seems like most of the women I know are so focused on their looks and possessions. And seem to be more concerned with other peoples opinions.
On the other hand most guys I know could give a shit about other peoples opinions. And try to impress others with their accomplishments rather than shiny jewelry and nice clothes. I shouldn't even say most, a majority would be a better way to put it.
  I do think it has a teeny bit to do with hormones, but mostly the environment you were raised in. I think people underestimate the effects of childhood experiences in development. The saying "you're a product if your environment" is very true.
  And thinking about it most of the gals I've known who trip seem to be less concerned with their hair and makeup and all of that material stuff.
  I just don't know if its due to hormones, genetics, personality, or environment, or a bit of each. But people either love them or hate them.

We are sexual dimorphic as a species..

As far as we can tell, the only differences between males and females are the shape of the body..

The brain has no gender.  There is no female or male brain.


What makes you female is that you associate your inner self & body with being female.  All of the other stuff is stuff you learned to classify yourself as female. 

Learned is kinda harsh.. Force upon you.  Girls are not born with their favorite color being pink..




... I watched this documentary a few years ago. It basically broke it down like I mentioned. The man went out and did the hunting and their eyesight and other tactile skills and there risk assessment were developed through this. The women stayed at the camp and cared for the children and developed language. It was quite a long documentary like three parts or something so I can't remember everything but it was really interesting.

  Basically men are better with spatial recognition. Like how men are better at parallel parking than women. These traits are derived from those experiences of the early man and woman in the camp and on the plains. Basically men are better with the spatial and risk reward scenarios. And women are better communicators. I believe they went into how these things were in coded in DNA and passed generation to generation. Just recollecting not implying some kind of fact or anything but is interesting stuff :-)! :cheers:

My experience has been that it's pretty 50/50, if not more skewed to women.  The biggest user I know of is married to a heavy user as well.  Of my friends in college friends, the ones who were looking to trip were women. A woman introduced me to acid, a woman and her man are the biggest shroomers I know, one of my ex-bosses was a tripper and a woman, and currently my hookup is a woman.  Then there is entheogenic icon (for better or worse) like Kristle Kole, and a countless number of vloggers and trip reports by women on YouTube.

Honestly, I don't see much difference between women and men in their level of interest.  I can see more women being reluctant to get inebriated if they don't trust whom they're with though, as well as a general societal bias to take men more seriously.




.....good stuff...thanks:thumbup:

Anecdotally it does seem like men are more likely to talk about it, in some cases this might have to do with privilege, feeling like they have less to lose and are thus more open.  Whereas I know many women who trip but view it as more personal.

I agree with the OP about men,testosterone and risk taking but its not black and white with regard to men and women, some women are more adventurous and risk takers than men.

From a bodybuilders perspective though someone like Terrence McKenna doesnt look like he had a high test level yet he had the adventerous spirit, so high test in the sense of powerful muscles and intense will power to exert oneself is not really a correlation.

Great pioneers in almost everything have been men, I don't see why a psychedelic frontier has to be different from any other frontier.

Nah homie, I'm a guy, but I do feel like it's more of a social thing for why girls don't do it as often as guys, if that's even true.

I do notice this, there are much more male pot smokers then women too IMO.  Why are MUCH more men involved with psychedelics then women?  I haven't the slightest clue...

The reason why men "are" pioneers in everything is because of the sexist bias Europeans held against women. Many women were overlooked in science, and until recently, completely denied being doctors. But women were pioneers when people colonized anywhere in the world. Women were a part of it.

You can't look back at history and say women can't be pioneers in any frontier. Because throughout history women were not allowed to be pioneers in anything.

I never said women can't be pioneers.  I simply stated an obvious fact.

I didn't meant that part towards you, I just kinda meant it in like an overall thing.

I think that women have just been equally apart of most things in history, but just a lot of the times overlooked or forgotten.

I gotcha.  It's just a fact there are more men pioneers.  That's not an attack on women, or saying they are unable to.  It's just the truth:shrug:
