Maybe Ohio State is weird, but I am used to being in a much more diverse environment.
We don't seem to have any active gay members on TFP. I know of one active lesbian, a couple of bisexual women, and I've read bumped threads that reveal that TFP has had at least one transsexual as an active member. I feel that TFP could be much more valuable if the population was more diverse and/or representative of the larger world population. We have men from many areas of the world, but the majority of the women are from the US/North America (perhaps because our culture is more accepting of the porn on the board?). And the women aren't very strong in number, either, as has been pointed out.
I don't like that TFP is hugely male-dominated, but at the same time, it's impossible to find another active forum like this where both sexes are at least present. Most of the "feminine" forums I visit are too girly for me (makeup, kids, gossip, zomg is that all you think about??), and the horse forums I frequent are largely dominated with females, and a huge portion of them have atrocious grammar skills. This is the best so far, but I do think it could be better.
