> You make it sound as though women’s willingness to be on a social network depends on how much validation or attention they receive. If that were true, women would flock to male-dominated Nostr. I am very grateful that Nostr has de-bachelorified enough that you don't realize I meant that women were being aggressively hounded out and now we're tolerated and treated like we're almost human. 😂 There used to be a very loud-n-proud "girls are stupid, throw rocks at them" crowd, but they're less active, now.

What do you mean - I throw rocks at you all the time! Need to work on my aim, it seems. Grumble grumble

That’s genuinely surprising to hear, because my experience so far has been almost the exact opposite. From my very first day, people have been welcoming and have gone out of their way to help. The warmth and engagement I’ve received have been far beyond what I expected. In fact, last night’s exchange was my first encounter with misogynistic attitudes here. How many years have you been here? And is there a girls’ club around here I can join? :)
