I agree, but at a higher level the analogy works… like a sports car vs a pickup truck vs a minivan. Very different but at the end of the day they are all vehicles and men tend to like one of those more than others, same as women (and no, I am not implying women like minivans… my wife forbade me from getting one when our kids were little and I had given up on a cool car for the convenience of one)
Oh I see, you are just an idiot… go back to reddit please
Honestly, I really cannot stop people from making up things I did not write and tagging them along in their heads.
I was answering the question in the picture of this post:
Do you know any Reddit alternatives aimed towards Women?
The way I worded it “it’s called Pinterest” came from me thinking this was a well known thing which apparently is not for many lemmy users.
Check this article which is 10 years old, where Pinterest representatives acknowledge this demographic divide and want to correct it
Yes, I have. And the differences that you allude to are a huge part why women find it attractive, more so than men.
Pinterest itself have publicly stated this was not necessarily intentional and they wanted to bring more men to the platform.
it wasn’t a joke
pinterest is an link aggregator just like reddit and geared towards women
of course women are welcomed here, no clue how you get otherwise from my comment

it’s called pinterest
Edit:
PS: Ok so it looks like people here are just as bad as redditors. I was answering the question in the Reddit caption of this post. Pinterest has been known to be an alternative to Reddit (as a link aggregator) which attracts women a lot more than men.
This is a KNOWN thing, check this 10 year old article from the people managing Pinterest stating as much
Of course women are welcome here, there is no question about it. Does it matter if there is an instance for women? I don’t even know, I know women who love stereotypical male stuff and vice versa. I assume anyone, male, female or anything in the spectrum, can browse around and collate their favorite subs
Totally fair question.
Basically, I don’t call shots in my organization, I’m a worker bee (best I could call myself is a "specialist worker bee hehehe) I can only work on what is assigned to me and our people are strict on that. Sometimes I get called into meetings as a technical advisor just to let people know if what they are dreaming sounds feasible but even those, if they start to take off, my bosses intervene and demand a project is actually created and put through the paces before it can be assigned to someone.
With that in mind, if I deem a project, task, inquire BS and do not work on it but I am wrong, the interested party (usually my boss) would come back to me to get status updates, ETAs, etc. Therefore, if I deem a project BS and it is not, I would eventually get in trouble.
What usually happens is that my boss would come and instead of asking about the status on the BS project, they would tell me to hold on or provide me new specs which may not be BS or simply to tell me the project sponsors dropped it.

I have an impeccable nose for work BS.
When a new initiative or proposal or project or just a simple inquiry comes my way, I seem to have a really good instinct as to how feasible/likely this project will come to fruition. BS projects get tossed into a corner, Non-BS projects get attention.
99.9% of the time, the BS projects are cancelled or get completely rectified into non-BS projects before I had to waste a single calorie on them
90% of the time, the non-BS projects are actually developed or, if cancelled, it’s due to forces outside of our control
The consequence of this “power” is that I am rarely busy since I don’t waste time on the BS and I get solid work done as I can move the time to the non-BS stuff… 23 years into my career I have never been late for a delivery or caught with no progress on a request
This is the type of alternative thinking we need to solve all our problems
very small… I mean, can you imagine the accuracy needed for a bullet to find his brain?
I wish 1/3 of the USA were trying to put the fire out… The majority of this third are just watching in horror how the fire consumes their house
