    This isn't about Hubski demographics although the demographics here certain demonstrate that (I think)

I've had the impression that there is lots more female here than in most forums. I would guess something like a 30/70 or maybe even 40/60 ratio. Is it because it is a women-friendly place or because women don't really hide their gender here? Or maybe it's because a couple a women here are amongst the most active users...

I'm honestly getting curious about hubski's demographics, we should do another survey this year.

Somebody did a survey a year ago and at the time, at least, it was a crushingly, depressingly male place. Like, 93/7.

I am heartened to see a lot more outspoken, demonstrably female posters. Not only are women generally more interesting, the notable presence of women tends to make men more polite.

Perhaps we hit a tipping point. I sure hope so. I know all the chicks are on Pinterest but I just cannot figure that place out.

Pinterest: a place for people to make virtual lists of virtual things that are pretty to look at.

I never understood it either, I think it took virtual-ness one step too far for me.
