Has anyone else noticed that OC.net is full of men and there aren't many women? It's a pity, some of the nicest and most interesting people here are female, such as LizaSymonenko and Dominika.
So what can we do to get more females on board?

I remember some Jewish seminary, where the female seminarians wondered what the Talmud would look like if women wrote it. They came to the conclusion that, given the testosterone driven culture of responsa, it would never have been written. |

Only that the Talmud does not consist of responsa. |

LOL, Liza. And Gorazd, there are more women on here than you may think. I know of a few posters here who are female, but I've noticed many of the guys here have written things which seem to indicate that they think the posters in question are in fact male. Who those people are? It is not my place to tell.  |

This thread makes me miss Liora.  But we still have many wonderful ladies: Mabsoota, Hiwot, Ergib, ZZ, Liza, Quinault...surely others I'm not remembering right now...I'd say that for any random group of people thrown together by their love of arguing about theology or whatever it is we're doing here, we're batting extremely high in terms of quality ladies. Remember, quality is preferable to quantity. There are plenty of other forums on the internet with more women on them, but I'm not terribly interested in browsing the Lifetime TV forums or something... (that exists, I bet) |

But I seriously wonder if men and women, assuming both are religious, have a different attitude to faith? |

Yes, it would help if people would provide a bit more information in their profiles. I understand why some hold back on personal details, but is male/female really that confidential?  Yet, I'll bet many of these people who don't want to reveal information here have Facebook pages that could tell quite a story ! (I'm not on Facebook.) |

I'm in the process of starting a small online group for Orthodox women. IME, it can be less awkward for females to share with other females.

Has anyone else noticed that OC.net is full of men and there aren't many women? Welcome to the internet. Well, another aspect of the 'net is not being able to tell of someone is male/female. Oh I can tell. And even when I'm wrong, I'm right. |

I'm not referring to "role-playing'. But how does one tell just from reading postings on subjects that aren't about personal things or that don't have personal information? So your "seem" might be more applicable. Ebor Small things can give it away. The use or abuse of certain words and smilies, the showing of a lot of empathy and sensitiveness etc. etc. It might not be 100% waterproof, but what is? |

I've also noticed a few times when male posters were mistakenly thought to be female. Well Opus asks for it. I thought he was a girl for the longest time, too. Sorry Opus. But don't forget Maria and Zenovia. Two of my favorite firebrands. Thanks. Oops. I thought Opus was a girl too. Maybe he should change his avatar. |
