Lack of humility. Lack of generosity. Narrow world view. Explain most things using "us vs. them."
Need more women representation.
Need to create a welcoming place to ask questions and to learn
Feminist bitcoin will kill bitcoin.
Bitcoin is neutral.
It doesn't need more women. It doesn't need less women.
It needs exactly the amount of men or women that need and can use it.
Does USD need more women representation ? Or gold? What a silly sentence.

If no women ever use bitcoin it won't change the usefulness or use case for bitcoin.
Bitcoin no more needs women representation then it needs any other conceivable category.
It's neutral.
I get it, you want more women in bitcoin, but it's like saying Gold needs more women. It doesn't make sense. Gold is Gold. If you are interested in Gold an its properties you will be interested in it.
Bitcoin is bitcoin, if you like and need what it has to offer you will adopt it regardless of gender, or any other factor.
If no women ever adopt bitcoin, it will still be the best money out there. Women need Bitcoin.

I get your argument. I'm arguing for representation that is public facing (i.e. media)

If all public representation of bitcoin was only women.
What benefit would be added to bitcoin ?
