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."

What do you think about gold? Doesn't it only have consensus value?

Gold is an interesting one because it's consensus value that had historically had very clear scarcity and it had certain utility value that make it a convenient trade token. Those factors together made it useful for governments as a tool which lead to it virtually becoming a fiat currency. There is a complex interaction between governments, gold exploration and market growth that has given gold sustained increases in value over time - not what I'd invest in, but historically it has done well and preserved its value.
