No, I don't think the gender of people posting has anything to do with my reasons for not posting in other places. My reasons are more on a personal level with myself. I tend to steer away from controversial topics, no matter who is posting it. I also have issues with (typing this obviously, I can't think of the right words).... It is hard to voice your opinions on things that you don't know what your opinion is. I am very conscience of what words I use, I don't like to offend/piss off anyone. That is just my nature.

Is there anything about the gender composition, political leanings, religious opinions, etc. of other members, that causes you to feel more inhibited in other forums?

No, I don't think any of these things make me feel more inhibited (see what I wrote above, I think it pertains to this as well). I actually like that there are so many different points of view here at TFP. I like reading all the different opinions and what-not.

Sadly, I feel like this in real life.
