Thoughts About Men on Steemit (Gird Thy Loins!)
The vast majority of men on here have been awesome and tend to "get" my rather male-like INTJ brain and warped sense of humor.  I also cuss a lot and tend to be quite blunt about my beliefs and opinions. In fact I like quirky and strong men as long as they know that behind that tough exterior is an equally tough interior but there are a few who know that if I let you in my "inner circle", than I am a huge push-over and actually pretty damn nice.  (to my own detriment at times ;) )

Having spoken with quite a few women, many of us observe and see the same inconsistencies and power moves just as acutely as many men do. In private some confess they are scared to say much because of fear of confrontation or having to feel invisible because they put out content that gets totally ignored. Personally I feel a lot of men think the exact same things and pick up on it but maybe feel a bit more empowered to be able to call it out. The truth is nothing is fair in life and the interwebz are no exception.  On a growing platform of course there are growing pains and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it other than upvote those who I feel are good for the ecosystem and ignore the hell out of the ones I think are predatorial.
That being said, Steemit is amazing!
There are so many talented, kind and helpful people on here that you can make your own little tribes and create the type of experience that you want to have.  I have been lucky to have met some of the nicest men as friends on here who have shattered stereotypes that were brewing in me about how most males operate. Hopefully, I was able to do the same in return even if my style isn't exactly always politically correct.  I adore men and make no apologies about it and who knows, maybe my jaded cynicism can be replaced with a bit more of a softer approach......but then again maybe some men appreciate the fact that I'm "fiery".
