Where's the female view and does it matter?
#13
(Without voting for any of the offered candidates) It's pleasant to imagine other participants have genders, including other than those they claim and project.  I've noticed those who project female are more easily upset than the rest, but not exclusively.  This gives the site a certain tone - self-censorship, it could be called.  As Churchill put it, we shape our houses and thereafter they shape us; online, we shape our characters (and the rest follows).

So in answer to the question, the female view is in your head, and it matters.
