   I realize this poll might be self-defeating because the women who don't like sharing their perspectives might prefer to not vote.
   
   Still interesting, though.

     @manlycoffee@techhub.social I'm just considering a flaw in the question.

     @atomicpoet interesting.

     I get the impression that people prefer to vote, because they get this perception of providing their thought, while remaining anonymous

     One thing I do believe is that it's better to ask for a woman's perspective on her lived experience than to not ask.
     
     Many terrible things have happened because a woman's perspective has not been considered.
     
     Mind you, no one's entitled to hear a woman's perspective. But making an assumption on a lived experience is also a form of entitlement.

     @atomicpoet Asking is never a bad thing, assuming is.

     @atomicpoet assuming is bad. Ask is good, but respecting the response, which *may* be to decline to engage, is vital. If you’re paying attention, though, such a response will also inform you somewhat as to the perspective.
