Like antirice, I'd like to see some data. It sounds plausible, but there's
nothing like evidence to support your claim. You clearly did not do your
homework.
So, you should collect a sampling of about 1000
randomly-chosen posts and have a look at the following factors:
- Female/male ratio of the monks.
- Do the posters come from cultures where being "nice" to girls is the norm? Does the norm apply universally, or just to heterosexual males?
- Level of RTFM (Everyone gets told to RTFM at times, especially beginners). You will have to come up with a scheme of grading the level of response and correlate that to (perceived) biological gender.
- That information will have to be correlated to the (perceived) biological gender of the responses' writers (i.e. the "community").
- Of course, you will also have to come up with a means of objectively identifying the perceived bioloical gender of everyone posting. (Obviously, you could cut to the chase and ask everyone.)
If given more time, I could probably come up with a few other criteria
that would make this question answerable.
