As a sociology major who is also a fan of the humanities, I totally agree with you. While I’ve always been much more of a lurker than a regular poster–even while I was on Reddit–it still seems like there isn’t a lot of content here that I feel I can really contribute to or engage with. The most prevalent posts all seem to be tech related or are just doom and gloom stories. It makes this place feel cold and bleak.

And yeah, the casual and even blatant misogyny from some of the users is appalling (I still remember that post about the career fair for women months back that got overrun with angry men).
