Random Discussion / Re: Why aren't there many women in crypto?

Good question.
A large number of women are not interested in low level "how stuff works". i.e. The Hard Stuff. They are more touchy feely, "How does this make me feel better" and all that stuff..
I reckon this is where we get all the endless misguided attempts so "save" something-or-other (insert Whales, Forests, etc), and to "help" the underprivileged out of poverty though socialist force - they simply can not see how this won't work. Why? Because they can't see the low level mechanics of these ideas.
A perfect current example is Saving the Elephants: Their depth of comprehension ends here :- "We just need to cuddle them more and have more laws Duh! - It's a no brainier really!" - Totally not getting the point that we are now up against the "economics of extinction", where just talking about it hypes the market and elephants are now being killed just to reduce the supply.
There is even the theory that women are the prime drivers of The State (see molyneaux youtube and elsewhere). Because they are so hard wired to fall for the tall dark handsome powerful bad ass talking heads who "speak to their inner wants" and all that crap. Plus - they are primed to want "free stuff" - the impossible "something for nothing" - which is why they mostly support the non productive business plan of The State:- i.e. Rob Peter -> Pay Paul. Cost of doing that:- Huge systemic debt.
My two cents.
