Well, online one can engineer societies, if one are willing to 
spend the investments, but men are not the problem. Women are 
just as dysfunctional as men are, and both men and women 
experience gender-related discrimination in different fields 
(custody cases come to mind).

I'll even say that the in-your-face bluntness-agression is 
preferably to silent aggression/freezing out, because bluntness 
can be addressed and corrected more easily. Hopefully we don't 
have a big freezing out problem (but how can you tell?). We do 
have the occasional bluntness problem.

But let me ask you this question instead: would you expect the 
average man to feel inclined to join an all-female online 
community? I wouldn't. Just turn the gender around and ask the 
same question again: would you expect the average woman to feel 
inclined to join an all-male online community?

Clearly, you need to think about how you grow your online 
community if you want to create openings either way.
