At least online, anonymity plays a part, but the discussions seem to have a lot of masculine energy to them. Is it maybe also like music, chess, or comedy where socialization plays a role in the male dominance?

I remember 60% of Bernie's constituency was female, but it doesn't seem to translate online. How can we work to attract more women to the movement?

A lot of irl leftist stuff tends to be majority women, actually. This place, on the other hand, is a niche internet space that grew out of an old subreddit. It’s not representative of leftism as a whole.

The thing about the discussions here having “masculine energy” makes me wonder if this post is a bit.

no, they're right. masculinity comes off a lot of the stuff here in waves.

I agree, but the overall vibe of the post makes me wonder whether the OP thinks the “masculine energy” is a good thing

A few aspects of the phrasing in the post give me pause. Hard to tell for sure though.

oh, maybe. haha, I'm wired to read "masculine energy" and recoil so I'm not the best judge of intent here
