RE: Is There Really an Advantage to Being a Woman on Steemit?
This is cool. I think when people get into new frontier territory there's this preconceived idea that the population will be male dominated, and that because of the lack of females, the females that do venture here will be able to take advantage of the over enthusiastic male audience, which is bullshit. This isn't the wild west, and I'm assuming that (most of) the men on here aren't sex crazed, and (most of) the females aren't really interesting in making a profit off of their bodies.
My theory is that the more male dominated a space is, the more that the men in it tend to believe that the women are favored, because female success stands out to them so much and that's what really sticks in their memories. In my experience, in spaces where there's a more even split and access to opportunity, gender doesn't come up at all.
This. But even if they did profit off their bodies who cares? I really thought it was anything goes around here. There are people who profit off their name recognition, their wealth that they had before they came here, or other mystique that doesnt quite have to do with the quality of their posts. So I think its really fair for cute women to be as cute as they want if that ups their SBD so be it. But you are so right Mallory, it also stands out because the ratio is so off here.
Yeah, I've noticed that, too. I think men generally overestimate this sort of thing, unconsciously.
