I think it makes a lot for sustainability to have more women in the mix. Think of the opportunities they would create for themselves, the honing of skills, opportunities to learn, network, value creation etc.

In fact, if Steemit attracts more women, it opens up new opportunities.

That said, I could relate with this:

"I joined Steemit because I was attracted to the idea of sharing myself creatively online with such a cool community. This type of social media/content sharing platform appeals to many people who are not traditionally interested in learning more about crypto currency."

"By joining the platform though, it forces them to learn a little more about blockchain technology and the crypto space as a whole."

Lol. This is true. I like to think of it aa learning by accident. If you want to make full impact here, you must gradually start learning about crypto even if that wasn't your original goal.
