A way to increase the number of women who read LW would be to have more posts like this.
It’s not as if we terminally value having more women around. Presumably this is an instrumental value in the service of some other value, and if so we should keep in mind whether attempts to satisfy this value interfere with that or other values, like maintaining a high level of discourse.
I agree. This is an important point. Even though I see no reason why it wouldn’t be a good thing to have more women posting on LW, I don’t think introducing more stuff that’s off topic is a good way to do so. If having more women around would be a good thing, as I assume it would be, this would suggest that there are mostly likely plenty of on-topic ways to do so.
