There ARE female Oggers, but in my 10+ years of using Discogs I didn't "meet" more than 15 female s.

would be very interested to know the ratio of Women to Men

Don't know what the ratio is, but there's plenty.
Some are top contributors: http://discogs.versitio.com/stats/contributors

How can you tell if they are female, on the first page two have got female avatars, one of which is Nancy Spungen.

It's a fair wager it's nearly all blokes.

just a general enquiry

Not sure about the ratio, but if you're into dating a woman this is perhaps not the place I'd screen first and foremost... ;)

I assume.
If someone says she's a woman and refers to themselves as such, I don't see why I should doubt that, nor do I care really. It's a fair wager discogs is more like a Borg collective :)

the ratio of Women to Men ?

IMO not relevant, useless, We could ask about the gay/non gay ratio, the blonde/dark hair ratio, the ...
By the way I'm proudly ranked 911th of Discogs contributors.

I'd like a measure or ratio or whatever about more rank points with fewer collection items

Drat you got me! Women to men ratio among star trek watchers anyone?

How many women are Discoggers and Trekkies, there's a computation to get on with.

Oddly, Star Trek fandom is one of the few Fandoms where surveys find the ratio flipped; it's just over half female in most surveys. One found 57% responding as women.

These could actually be Metrosexuals.

Ask about the original Trek series with Shatner & Nimoy and the ratio would be 70% men and 30% women.

Please, continue. My popcorn isn't ready yet.

Please welcome mirva, a female ogger. ;)

I don't think anyone knows the ratio of female to male site s - as far as I can recall, Discogs did not ask me to specify gender when I opened my .
I got a seller survey within the last month, and I don't think it asked either.
A bit surprised Discogs doesn't want to collect information like that from s for data analytics purposes, but I guess you get a lot of the same benefits from using Google Analytics.

Based on this thread it seems to be debatable whether I'm actually female... ;-)

I can tell you that there's more of us than you think. Just no reason to make a fuss about it here, at least I want to be just another ogger, nothing else. :-)

Sure! :)

I confirm, we have many female customers worldwide.

I'll take that wager and you'd be completely wrong. I am a woman, for the record. auboisdormant is right. There are many more of us than you'd imagine. We just don't talk about who we are most of the time because it isn't relevant to what we're discussing, which is music.

O rly?

I went outside today, and I saw one!

This thread is so untypical for Discogs. Lol.... I can't decide if that is refreshing, or just ridiculous..... Maybe it just doesn't hurt my brain as much as discussing complicated merges, splits, and proper track listing approaches. :)

Well I stumbled across Sara H.B's profile by chance while browsing.

She did Saturday night London KissFm deep house radio show from the late nineties. A decent show it was too. So there's one, I guess.

Ah I see ;)

Discogs Chat used to be awesome, many many many moons ago. I miss painless and Bones. :)

We still have the SvE.

I'm quite interested in this topic. I'm male, some idiots think I am Lita Ford from the runaways but that's their deal. However, besides record collecting I've got be about the most untypical male going. I make house, bring up my two kids and do all the housework and cooking, I hate sports... to be honest the only thing I do that people think "oh, typical geeky guy" is being very into music and record collecting... I mean there are lots of women I know who are also into music and music collecting, but none that I could imagine getting into Discogging as a hobby (incidentally it's really only something I stumbled on by accident really and over time it's got a little addictive). So I can fully understand women on Disocgs not wanting a fuss made, but equally it's reassuring for me to know that there are out-and-proud female Discoggers since normally anything that is the sole preserve of men makes me want to run a mile!

LOL - I always thought that pic was you working hard sorting out your cassettes! Oh dear, thought I recognised you.

Your lifestyle is something I'm entirely envious of (bar the cassettes!).

I discerned that you were male, quite early on, but yor early posts made me consider the psychological impact of gender in the forums. I believe it wears off after someone has been a regular contributor to the forums, as evidenced by some major contributors to the site, but I definitely sensed what I considered a bit of trepidation and reserve from some of the regulars in some of their initial responses to your posts, compared to how I thought they would react. I am not talking specific incidents here, so don't ask me to sight my sources. It was just the overall tone seemed slightly different to me. It is interesting the effect gender, and indeed sexual orientation can have on our responses, not too mention the psychic weight that an Avatar can carry.
Incidentally, I myself have one female friend who uses Discogs, compared to 15-20 male friends who do...

Maybe it's just me, but opening a thread like this is a bit creepy...

It's just you. ;)

What about those whose pronounce is an inanimate object? Such as a vacuum cleaner or a toaster.
Not everyone identifies as a "cis hetero shitlord".

I don't believe, Discogs and gender politics mix very well.
But maybe I just misunderstood the whole thing? (It wouldn't be the first time)

It's both creepy and not creepy... it's a valid question for curious s, or someone trying to figure out the general dynamic of genders here on discogs.

But women get enough shit from men in this hobby that I can see it sounding creepy to them.

What is this an AOL Chat Room? Age/Sex/Location Check!

I'm sure there are more than we think, they just dont like to argue as much as some of the guys here.

Plus, who needs 20 pm's a day from all the guys here talking about their favorite Richards

Aye!

there are plenty of female s on discogs, cis and trans, but most don't come into the forums (only a small percentage of discogs s ever do). but i can happily report that many do use the marketplace [thank you ladies :)]

oh and for the record, metrosexuals are unlikely to be into Star Trek. those outfits, yikes...
;p
