I’m not sure how this would come off as intolerant, though my detector for that stuff has been off the last couple of days.
Anyway, whether or not you’re right pretty much depends on what you mean by “substantial”. Off the top of my head I can think of five or six female regulars. That isn’t too shabby. There aren’t that many regulars, period. Considering this is (a) the internet, and (b) a place where a bunch of computer nerds talk about science and philosophy I think that’s actually quite good! It would be nice if the ratio is was a little better, but I don’t think anyone here actually thinks it would ever get past 1:4. And I think we’re okay with that. As long as it doesn’t become like 1:100.
