So upon this new knowledge that most women brewers fart.. and might actually poop? Really? 
So, where are all the women?

As a female sound engineer who mixes FOH and monitors (albeit in broadcast television, not on the road), I can absolutely imagine the comments you would get. In my 14 years in the biz, I've only ever had the pleasure of working with two female touring sound engineers. You are a rare breed, indeed! Cheers!
I'm not sure a STEM background directly contributed to my brewing hobby so much as peer introduction... A male co-worker is also a homebrewer and my husband talked about wanting to learn how to brew, so I got advice from said co-worker in order to buy my husband a decent brewing kit. It wasn't until our first brew day (a Valentine's day gift for DH) that I realized that this was a hobby that I would enjoy. Now I'm hooked, and I'm the one who's getting Valentine's day and birthday gifts related to brewing. Hubby likes to add the hops and take iphone pictures of the boiling wort, but I pretty much run our home brewery.
Where was this woman when I was falling in love?

Dicks and Dunkels are awesome together, as are Penises and Pilsners....
Still want to go down the road of alliterating woman's body parts and beer words? Keep in mind there are way more names for the major male appendage...

This is turning into a bad scene from "Goldmember"

Some of the best ones:
"Does your boss know you're touching that stuff? Where is he?"
"How can a little girl like you know what all those buttons do?"
And my personal favorite:
"Are you keeping that seat warm for the engineer?"
Ummmm...yes, actually - I am. :cross:

I don't see much "masculine flair" in threads in here, unless you count fart jokes and arguing over who is more whipped by their wife (err I mean "SWMBO") as "masculinity".
This ^^.
This ^^.
Well, sure it doesn't matter--except when someone is casually bigoted. Which is... I don't know, I don't want to say once per thread, maybe about half that, on average? Certainly once for every thread over five pages. I don't know about in the "shootin' the @#$#" type threads, I don't usually visit those, I mean the threads that are actually theoretically about making beers. By which I mean "panty droppers". Heeyuk.
It's really easy to say "can't we all just chill out" from a position of privilege. Anyway, HBT isn't uncommonly bad about the casual misogyny for a homebrew forum as far as I can tell, which is to say it's not unique to the site.

That's true...the irregular ones tend to outnumber the regular around here sometimes.

try and stay on your own topic. And who cares where are all the women at, Does your mom know where you are at?
To be fair, the person I quoted is probably the most prominent female member of this site.
You're right though. It was really the "It doesn't matter to me/who cares?/it shouldn't matter" sentiment that I was on board with, and not so much the "this forum has no issues" part, which I don't have enough experience to say one way or the other on.
Like I touched on in the rest of my post, I think most of the humor here that gets called "masculine" is really pretty infantile and silly. I'd hate to think that female members (or potential members) are turned off by that kind of stuff.
Not only is she prominent she's pretty awesome too.
You're right, if the memberless members were turned off by the stream of 'masculine' humor we would frequent somewhere else. *shrugs*
Eh, I'd rather hang out with anyone on this site than a room full of women.... All hair, nails, purses, and shoes... NO Thankyou.
Oh yeah, she has the right to say that if anyone does! But I do want to say people should be careful about the sentiment, since you tend to hear it a lot from people who aren't on the receiving end. Didn't mean that as a jab at you either, I should've gone back through the thread to find a better example (because there have been some).
Since the op was wondering where all the women of the site were,I just goofed on it as a matter of course. not an insult. Gender doesn't matter in brewing to me. I can drink or brew with anybody. Also,I done spent my younger years as da king bee. Been there,done that.
My fiancee brews with me, but hasn't ever done it alone. She understands well enough how to do it and could, but would want the extra help. Plus she's terrified of using the propane tanks by herself for some reason... but we did have a friend who had one explode in his grill, so it's not completely unwarranted.

Female brewer here. I try not to let gender play a role in any hobby, job or interest of mine. I don't really care and can hang with either just fine. It's all about the beer, right?
