The people who argue that forums aren’t social media are people who want to be better than everyone else

Youre better off asking why women overall are more likely to read.

I think people above a certain age won’t believe me, but I swear when I was growing up (born in 2001,) being smart and having hobbies associated with smartness was made out to be unmasculine. I don’t even know how that happened, but from a young age we all thought of reading as a women’s hobby. I think there weren’t many male characters in children’s media of that era that were smart and not made out to be uncool, but I might be misremembering.
