In a Twitter discussion on Sept. 5, Rosa-Maria Ryyti (Miss Universe Finland 2015 winner), argued Bitcoin's risk factor made it more appealing to men.
She was responding to a query by analyst and Cointelegraph contributor, Filb Filb, who asked followers why the Bitcoin community was overwhelmingly male.
"Women are more risk-conscious in general and often go for a 'slow & steady' investment strategy," Ryyti wrote, adding:
"The current general perception of Bitcoin in the msm makes it even less probable for the average women (and men) to get involved."

They can't. This is a bourgeois power struggle. These arguments are useful for bourgeois women, in whose class interest it is to uphold the monetary status quo. They are also useful for bourgeois women who want to "lean in" to the corporate ladder. The actual work of Lovelace, Hawes, Liskov, Yuschenko, Hamilton et al is irrelevant to their class interests, only meaningful to proles, whose gender and attendant healthcare needs are also irrelevant, especially with the drive to push down their wages with propaganda (they're just a bunch of incels, who unlike the woman who coined the term, are expendable [their bodies are not necessary for reproduction]) and the idea that one can learn "programming" in a 3 week "boot camp."

Hm, I was under the impression that the point was to create well paying jobs for the daughters of bourgeois families, while not having to put in the hard work and study.
