You should learn not to open a reply with going ad hominem. The 
fact that you don't, suggests to me that I've struck a nerve and 
that you basically don't have much to add to this debate...

I am also not basing my statements on pseudo-scientific 
evo-psych...

I haven't said anything about one sex being more cooperative than 
the other.

Men position themselves also with other men they like, women are 
more likely to compete with people they don't like and more 
likely to downplay their own position with people they like to 
put themselves at the same level and create a connection. You 
very rarely see men claim that they are less capable in order to 
connect with people they like. The average woman communicate more 
at the personal level, are more likely to resolve issues they 
have, and are less likely to commit suicide as a result. Those 
are facts.

Statistical gender differences are real, measurable and 
observable to anyone willing to look at it. Does it apply at the 
individual level? No. There are greater differences between 
individuals than between genders.

However, an all-female community and an all-male community have 
typically different characteristics. Both online and offline.

Actually, the D forums can be quite hostile at times, but it 
doesn't last for a very long.

I've actually spent years of my life studying social interaction 
on the internet and virtual worlds, academically. So you will 
most likely fail to engage me at a level where I can learn 
anything from your "citations".

What exactly are you trying to tell me? That programmers are 
somehow outcasts, by what definition? Even if it was true, then 
maybe it would be the other way around, given that system level 
programming is an extremely time consuming activity.
