That is a distortion of my entire comment.

There are sites where the user split per sex is around 2:1. The female-dominated ones are generally more vapid than the male-dominated ones. You can check yourself. That is not to say that male-dominated ones are never vapid. To put it in other words, I would say that almost all female-dominated ones are vapid, while "only" the majority of the male-dominated ones are vapid.

Britain’s https://www.mumsnet.com/ is far from vapid:

“When Mumsnet speaks, politicians listen”

Elsewhere: “Professor Pedersen believes Mumsnet’s popularity is partly down to it being a place where women can talk freely about politics without being drowned out by male voices or being subjected to the nastier side of other social media platforms.”

  • You found a single exception to baisq’s proposed general principle. This is not a good enough argument to refute it.
