Used to have a few. Why the exodus?

or beliefs as criticisms of their character or intelligence, read far less news than men (two to one ratio/deficit), and, connected to truth #2 in this sentence, will participate in online forums that are heavily-moderated. In surveys, women are more comfortable with limitations on speech than men. Even a board topic of something as trivial as music separates the two genders, because adult men and adult women generally have different tastes. More posts than we realize here and on the two other forums on this site revolve around some subject where the poster has spent a lot of time building up a wealth of knowledge about the topic, like ND football, but on the OF, it might be rock music from a particular era, or film history, or dog breeds, or the history of a particular make or model of car, and on and on. These topics usually provoke longer threads, and guys share their own knowledge and thoughts on it. In your entire life, how often has a woman expressed a desire to share everything she knows about a particular subject that she has read and studied? That isn't what generally drives women. Most would much rather talk about how things are going in their relationships with other people. Look at the online forums that are made up mostly or overwhelmingly of women, and that is precisely what the forums revolve around. Off the top of my head, I can think of every student who comes into class wanting to tell me about some particular piece of knowledge gained, and it's the boy who does flight simulations and educates me about this other type of plane here, the young man into professional whiffle ball and players X, Y, and Z, who throw these types of pitches at this speed, or the young men who want to tell me about how much their bench press has improved since the beginning of the year and what techniques seem to work better, et cetera. Female students want to talk about what happened yesterday, how relationships are going, and how they're feeling that day. The ones who love some "thing"," like Starbucks, never sit down to research the history of Starbucks, and aren't dying to tell people what they learned about it.
It's great that women have their own places where they can talk about what interests them and where they can bond based upon shared feelings and experiences. It's also great that men have their own places where they can debate things that interest them, show off their depth of knowledge in some topic, makes jokes that will offend most women, and so forth. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this joint being all male. If it changed to a significant degree, few guys would enjoy the changes.

They just drop C-bombs and shit-for-brains links.
This does not help inclusion.

Just a guess, but DEI standards may not be met.
The cherry on the top is their "My body, my choice" bumper stickers. Sometimes I get the feeling that the D lefties here are those very ladies. Could be.

I have long suspected that several posters here are actually women or women trapped in a man's body.
Transgenders are also a possibility.
I welcome them all. The more the merrier.
