Are they too soft? Too emotional? Take things / themselves too seriously? Is it the industry?
I can count on one hand how many female regulars there are on GFY who participate in threads often, and even fewer who start threads regularly.

I've been in the industry now for 9 years and have seen plenty of incompetent men and women. They all have one thing in common, they were bad hires from the start. This industry tends to make more bad hires with women in my opinion, because they are hired for something else besides their brains by men (who are also thinking with something else beside their brains).
Not that the men hit on their employees, but that they think a cute or attractive girl is most of being a good sales person or client manager.
Completely my opinion and of note from my observations is that this strategy totally did work in the early days when there was plenty of traffic and sales to go around. It doesn't work any more and a lot of companies still haven't gotten that memo.
