Too snobby for me. However, I can bloviate ignorantly on why I think MO is not attractive to women:<br/><br/>The structure of MO (and SO) is to gamify mathematical problem solving as an incentive. Asking and answering questions builds &#34;reputation&#34; which can be compared to others, resulting in a game where the competitors jockey for higher rankings. I posit that this incentivization holds little attraction to most women. The dominant cultural paradigm is that men compete and women work together. In order to make a system like MO appeal to women, I would suggest that a solved problem congratulates everyone who helped, no matter how small the contribution, and no one gets brownie points to collect. 2026-01-27T00:28:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrmlxw9eq7s83wj742xtd48hdjkqn6ggkykw60g6j72vgemjw766czyrp5lvuh4vmksg2v9uh4cmqgd7dsgr2ees7x265g8fl657unmfwx5lak9c5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgg0cnucmwz5gpct4n62g0vdl6psh2uplujxtcjx03jnnv4uyyn6qsegl8q'>nevent1q…gl8q</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Their rankings for the Arts includes Architecture.
