I don't see a lot of female names around here

It's not like your username sounds obviously feminine either, so how confident you are about whether a given user (except the obvious ones, say lukeprog or NancyLebovitz) is male or female?

But yes, according to the last survey, only around 10% of the people here are women, and even fewer among the most prolific contributors.

Digging through the survey, I'm surprised to see Myers Briggs types listed. I was wondering if LWers considered it to be pseudoscience before I even saw the question.
