You would think that the ratio would be more even than 9-1.
The feedback loop isn't helping either. Not right now at least.
Basically, the more males on a forum, the more they feel like there are mostly guys, which leads to more sexist behavior, which leads to girls leaving / not going to the forums, which leads to an even greater ratio of guys, etc.
However, the opposite has, well, the opposite effect, with more girls -> less sexist comments -> more girls etc. until an equilibrium is reached (hopefully).

well, yes, that is the case, but it goes both ways. i have seen several female dominated fourms out there and to be honest, it can get pretty bad in there.
Now that cake is added, I expect to see more women in the minecraft kitchens.
There is the sexist comment I was waiting for.
Actually, its a funny story:
I was playing Monster Hunter Tri, and when one of my teammates found out I was a girl. He told me to "get back in the kitchen." Fine, I'll just stay in camp and cook meat. About 15 minutes later, 2 of our teammates have fainted (you are allowed 3 per quest), and the guy starts yelling "WHY DON'T YOU HELP US, YOU *****?" "Because I am a weak little girl, silly! My only skills are cooking!"
At this point, he is absolutely pissed. He attacks me while I try to cook, so I tell him I'd help. About 20 seconds later, my bombing attempt blew up in my face...on accident.
you win an internet and a .
Your diamond block is old and obsolete, and therefore invalid.
I would have thought that minecraft would be a game with a more even M/F player ratio because it's such a diverse game with so many aspects that don't conflict. The game is not only fun but thereputic and beautiful. I swear, If you got extreme criminals to play this game for long enough there would be a dramatic change in their psychological outlook.

We are not retreating, We are simply enitiating an assault in the opposite direction of our enemies!
just leave the sexist remarks aside and just enjoy the game
we are not in the XIX century anymore, we are all entitled to a little fun wether we are men or women
and what's more fun than minecraft? :smile.gif:
I don't think anyone is actually being sexist.
We're all entitled to a little good humored jesting.

Yes, but even so some people might find it offensive. This is one of those subjects that people have to handle it carefully because the sense of humor is diferent from people to people.
I don't know if it as been said before because I don't feel like reading 11 pages of text.
But I would have suggested that this thread would have been transfered to the General Off Topic section if you wanted to have more girls because as far as I know there are A LOT more girls there then here. The man:women ratio would have been more like 6:4 instead of 9:1.

Not quite exactly that but just that this figure is representative of the Beta forums only.

That the play is the tragedy, "Man,"
And its hero the Conqueror Worm.
Yes you do, and, no offense but, im not sure your avatar is entirely appropriate considering its basically entirely naked, with nothing but perspective covering up the inapropriate parts...sorry, just felt the need to say it. (I do like it though, just I dont think it would be apropriate here on a "Familly Freindly" forum [then again, the forums users arn't quite entirely freindly])
But back on topic, I am a Guy, and Im suprised at the number of Female minecraft users on the forums, I expected much less on a forum like this.

Reason guys make fun of girls on the internet: See 'Momizi's post ^ [/halfsarcasm]
Seriously, make a poll about gender on the internet and you can't expect the civilized conversation to last long.
YES, THIS IS COMING FROM A GUY: I actually think that the internet would be a lot more mature and friendly if there were more girls out there.

Any of the (supposed) 136 of you feel the need to jump out of a giant pyramid made of cake?
