Yeah but that's an almost completely unrelated part of the internet.

You are incorrect.
Quote:
Males and females have had approximately equal rates of computer use since 1997. In 1997, males were more likely than females to be Internet users. Between October 1997 and August 2000, this difference disappeared. Since August 2000, males and females have had virtually identical rates of Internet use (Figure 2-6). In September 2001, the Internet use rate was 53.9 percent for males and 53.8 percent for females.
Although the aggregate rates of use and growth by gender have equalized, there are still gender-related differences in Internet use within various age groups (Figure 2-7). Women, from approximately age 20 to age 50, are more likely to be Internet users than men. From about age 60 and older, men have higher rates of Internet use than women.

While young users (in their teens and 20s) are most prevalent on MySpace, women who are most prevalent at the youngest ages (14 to 20), whereas men are most prevalent for all other ages (21 and up).

I agree that The Shroomery is a sausage festival, but this is not a reflection of the gender distribution of all internet users.

Well there are very different ways to use the internet, I should have specified. I think women would be less inclined to frequent the parts of the internet that would lead them to forums of this sort. Basically what I was saying is it's not the shroomery's fault that women aren't as represented here, it's just based on how the internet works. Women probably spend their time on the internet doing very different activities.

The other drugs which are dopamine related are used almost the same by the male/female. This shows that women wants to have good time and ignore the psychedelic 'world'.
These statistics show no such thing. It is important to differentiate between opinion and fact. In this case, the statistics show that fewer women report using LSD. In order to "show" the reasons why this is so, it would be necessary to gather data from all the women who don't use LSD. Jumping to conclusions is not scientific.

This may be so. However, sexist behavior is quite common on this site. Being greeted with "tits or GTFO" does not encourage women to continue to post on this site, nor do the frequent women-bashing threads in the Pub and OTD, nor do the hostile responses posted in relationship threads in P&M, and so on.
If a racial group was being targeted for hostility and harassment, the offenders would be warned and/or banned. The first official Shroomery response I have witnessed to the rampant sexism here was the recent "tits or GTFO" warning thread in the Pub.
The women who can handle the B.S. and think that they have something to gain from posting here will stick around. Many others leave after their first week or two.
IMO, the moderators could do a great deal more to eliminate sexist posts and harassment, and thus create a more woman-friendly forum environment.

Men lean towards abstraction, while women lean towards empathy. These two opposite human drives translate an opposite outlook of the environment. At least, this is the way it is perceived in art. Imho, this is quality insight of human drive.
