I have a thought experiment.
Pretend you just found out about the Law of One. You've been feeling extremely alone with your new revelations, so you were googling and suddenly you found this community. Jackpot, right? So you start reading the forums and you notice that the majority of the regular posters (90%+) are female. That's cool, so far everyone seems cool, save for a couple extremists that are a bit off-putting. Then you find a thread titled "Caretaking and Gender" and you open the thread, and you see a discussion between the females about why there aren't more male posters on the forum. The OP states how over 92% of nurses are females, and the conversation falls to how females are just better at and more versed in caring for other people, and they also are more in tune with their emotions, so this is probably why the Law of One's service to others philosophy caters more towards the female demographic. But, at least the men who do post on the forums are well beyond the capabilities of the average man.
If you were a male, would you feel welcomed as a new poster? Would you feel less lonely? Do you think this type of posting would further their goal in attempting to balance the gender gap that is occurring, or do you think it might just be helping reinforce the echo chamber?
