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."

If this is true, the original statement means that women are smarter than men - able to get the same done with less risk - and should be paid more for the same job than men.
I don't take sides with either statement, mind you. What I was trying to say that a politically acceptable statement "women are more risk averse" is a different way of phrasing a politically questionable statements such as women are smarter or not.
