I’d be really happy if someone interviewed some people who decided to stop attending EA events and asked about interests as part of their research. It seems worth investigating, although I’m sceptical about gender essentialism as a rule. The different interests hypothesis also doesn’t really explain why women are equally likely to attend lectures on EA topics, but less likely to attend EA London-hosted Disney princess movie marathons (or any EAL social events).

Haha, interesting, thanks! :)
