IIRC, Eastern Girl mentioned that she has previously taken extended posting breaks from the forum because she was sick of the pervasive sexism displayed by so many other members. And she's a woman who self-describes as having a "thick skin". How many other women (potential valuable members of the community) do you think were either driven away or never even bothered to register an account because they don't have the same level of "thick skin" as EG?
So yes, if the forums become less of a hostile place towards women, then more of them will be inclined to register/post and we
will see improvements to hockey, video game, movie, and cell phone talk. Unless, that is, you believe women have nothing intelligent to contribute when discussing any of those topics.
