Ok I get it there’s very few women on lemmy, but maybe we should be encouraging more to join/participate instead of keeping it as a kind of toxic boys-only club?
I think there are definitely less women than men but probably more women than it seems like.
I know I don’t mention I’m a woman unless it’s relevant, like this post. Sometimes, I’ll even purposefully use vague language or gender-neutral terms because I don’t want to get condescending interactions or feel like I have to be a perfect representation of a woman in order to dispel stereotypes.
E.g. Although I love technology and tinker with a home lab and small Arduino projects, I’m not about to look like an absolute CS genius if someone feels like confirming a bias they have about women and CS skills.
AKA “You like baseball?? Name every player on the Cubs twenty years ago then.”
You’re asking the wrong question on the wrong place and the wrong crowd.

Hey now. I’m sure the one woman here, not promoting her OF, has an opinion.
Does it count as watching porn if you’re editing you OF content?
If you masturbate to your own videos while you do it, I guess?
