This email makes me realize that pd/pd-list is mostly used by male users/subscribers... damn. I'm mostly interested in showing girls how pd works and how cool it is. Interested ladys ? (:
I think many women in this list would just ignore your comment ;) Please, do have in mind that the reason many don't have access to sophisticated tools like Pd is because there are not sufficient means of mediation/translation/teaching/learning not because of gender speculations
I can't make sense of this at all. We're talking about the woman/people ratio in the pd community. If you talk about something gender-independent, it ought to not change the ratio. So we're not talking about gender-independent things here (though perhaps we talk about things that we wish would be gender-independent...)
So are you saying that women have less knowledge of English, or that women have trouble learning outside of a teacher-student relationship, or that women think that they deserve mature documentation before they even start learning, or that women are less persistent, or that they are not motivated to get into that discipline because... I don't know. You will tell us what it is like.
