As one of very few women in bitcoin, much less stacker news and Lightning…
When will the boys grow up? When will they mature? Eventually Bitcoin has to grow up, mature, be about more than being a nerd and speak to all peoples.
Bitcoin is so much more than it is right now, and I still believe everyone will use it eventually.
But it will only mature when we spread it with love understanding that not everyone thinks like us or wants exactly what we want.
It’s still stuck in the MSDos era because it doesn’t have a good UI or the barrier to entry is too high. This barrier is cultural and social… it is person2person and reading comments from ‘the boys’ on SN I see why this is and I don’t know how to help yet. It will take time.
Feminism is a gross misunderstanding of human nature.
Feminists do not understand men, or themselves.
It is really quite tragic, symptomatic of a culture in decay.

it is literally defined as
"belief in and advocacy of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes expressed especially through organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests"
it's not a misunderstanding. If you were female you would want equal opportunity as well
reply
Would you agree that some feminists have taken it beyond wanting equal opportunity and have started demanding equality in outcomes, irrespective of any inherent differences in life preferences or skill affinities?
reply
Fine words but in practice it has resulted in women increasingly competing with men and failing to work in a complementary manner with men.
Result - failure of relationships and families and massive negative consequences including the genocide of millions of unborn children.
Men and women are fundamentally different in nature - feminism does understand, accept and accommodate this human, cultural, biological and evolutionary reality.

Representative I don’t know, I don’t think so.
But how we got here I also don’t know. Some nerds not having gotten the attention from women they wanted… are bitter and I understand that. I get it.
But at the same time eventually our boys have to grow up. If the majority of lightning users are like ‘our boys’ Bitcoin will never be mainstream (which it isn’t) but I still believe we will grow up and moderate. Spread Bitcoin with love. Spread with kindness.
Not everyone thinks like us or wants exactly what we want and the stackers have to understand that.

Third anon here: while the arguments made by the other anon posters are amusing, they are also weak to non-existent, which is why they employ identity- and character-based attacks. The bitcoin network is much bigger than any group's political or social ideology.
The OP does make a good point that men have deferred responsibility to women, which signals to women that the men in western societies are weak (many would agree). In my experience, women want to be led and cared for by a competent man – they despise the uncertainty that is created by indecisive/submissive/emotional men who pander to their needs. What they espouse in public is also at odds with what they enjoy in private. I'll even go so far as to say that most women don't know what they want and will inevitably find something to complain about (a bit like the average nümale). The best course of action is to enjoy the spectacle and laugh it off; if it's your date/gf/wife, give her a hug followed by some more serious "affection".
And always remember the No 1. rule of leadership: everything is your fault.
