We have women, many of them all over the crypto space.. no need to dumb it down for us.
Maybe a better article would be to address the issue of having an inviting platform for normies, and the front ends and dapps that are easy to use as well as attractive. That way we aren’t left with a bunch of spam and low quality apps that people only use to get an upvote.
As that’s the real concern, being an attractive platform to outsiders, not that we are - too technically advanced for woman.
The blockchain sees no gender, it sees no race, there is no gender inequality.
Seems your auto votes don’t really care what you say though, and therein lies another huge problem of ours.
Thank you.

Came here to say this, more or less.
I would also (hesitantly) add that, from what I've heard / come to understand, many women are disinterested in pursuing a "high-paying corporate job" because those jobs typically revolve around kinda-sorta-ruthlessly squeezing value out of people & systems, while also making large personal sacrifices to the 'work-life-balance' of the individual. There's probably some kind of similar mindset here.
There were quite the number of female STEM students when I was in school (though, probably only about 20% of the class) -- all of them certainly capable of the same work. Just completely disinterested in the boys-club rat-race -- which it kinda feels like here from time-to-(all the)time. Grinding out to create and share what is arguably cool stuff -- only to see it go mostly ignored while slews of posts saying same thing day-in, day-out get the same auto-votes regardless; all while being told that you're a 'snowflake' for pointing out that things are intrinsically unfair (at least in terms of how things are marketed or sold as 'potentially life changing').
Also -- the MAJORITY of content on Steem seems to be related to trend-analysis and markets speculation, which is a pretty male-dominated industry (I think? I don't care, or 'day-trade', so I don't really know). I know that my partner wishes there were more communities on here related to arts and the like.
It kinda reminds me about how my brother has his apartment wired up w/ a DIY voice-assistant to control his lights, etc... Except, the Machine Learning voice-recognition models was more-or-less trained EXCLUSIVELY on male voices, so it has a hard time even noticing his partners voice, let alone understanding it.
Steem isn't complicated. It's presented in a complicated manner though, feels very tedious, and has little-to-no draw for people because they (talking men and women here now) realize that, on the surface and in it's current form, it's the same system -- just presented differently -- early adopters and their friends (AKA 'old money and their buddies') getting early adopter advantages for no real good reason.
There actually are good reasons.
Early adopters (especially buyers) take much more risk by putting their time and other resources (especially money) into a new and unproven product. They are often rewarded much better for that higher risk.
Early adopters on Steem that have been rewarded with more shares (stake) is really no different than investors who get in early with real-world businesses and are able to buy their shares during Series A funding over Series B. Those who invest early often get preferred stock, which can guarantee a higher dividend and which has priority when it comes to distribution.
Early adopters on Steem (miners, buyers, witnesses, other users) bootstrapped the blockchain/network. They assumed much higher risk than those who joined once the system was openly tested, adjusted, and further secured over time. In fact, many early users found their accounts “hacked” via an exploit that needed to be fixed several months after public launch.
So to claim that there is “no good reason” for early-adopter advantages completely ignores the fact that early adoption is what can drive early success...and that the higher risk almost always comes with higher rewards - and it ought to. Any tangible amount of success is usually dependent on it.
Now, that being said...plenty of mistakes have been made here along the way and a lot of these early adopters were handed a lot of money and “influence” for no other reason than showing up. There could have been a little more discretion regarding where the rewards were distributed (both by the code and by humans), but that’s not a great reason to dismiss the early-adopter concept as a whole.
Sure -- I suppose that's a totally valid, if not traditional, way to look at it.
I think though that that view ("Satisfying Investors") needs to be analyzed w/ the marketing / message (the "Panacea of the Almighty Blockchain") that people are delivering at the same time:
It strikes me as trying to deliver a message of fantastical promises, while trying as hard as possible to wrangle/constrict a new idea/technology into the well-understood (and abused) little box of an "oldschool heirarchical organizational structure". All while ignoring the fact that that's kinda what people were excited to try to get away from in the first place (as far as I understand it).
Long story short:
👏well said sir

Thanks. Hopefully it makes sense. Took me a while to write / re-write it. Try pretty hard to articulate my thoughts w/o getting too emotional.
Guys - we just need a simple input and a simple interface - if I were only zashol today, I would understand for a very long time what I should do - there are a lot of interfaces and there is no perfect one - there is a lot more to add. The time will come and everyone will be here !!!
