thank you @beautfiulbullies, I really appreciate your supportive comment. I too was really bothered by the article. I agree that we (some of us) are really lucky because we have an amazing bunch of male and female friends and supporters around us, but even here on steemit the differences in the numbers of men to women is pretty big. Not sure how exlusionary steemit is, but I know it has its goods and not so goods and there is DEFINITELY LOTS of room to grow!
Amazing that the steemqueens radio show would indicate that the gender divide isn't an issue. Really not true from just about every other source who addresses the subject! We can change ourselves and support others....bit by bit things will shift, they already are!
