Although it has to be said, sometimes Hacker News does not seem to be that different from Men's Health and the likes. Here it is "How to get rich in four hours", in Men's Health it is "How to get great abs in 4 hours". And with Tim Ferris' next book, the two worlds will move even closer to each other.

Edit: this reminds, WHY is there no "Hacker News" for women's stuff? Where things like "the sensational new makeup" or whatever can be upvoted and so on? (No offense to women, I am talking about women's magazine readers). In theory women like to talk more than men, yet I am not aware of such a site.

at least two social bookmarking sites targeted to women have been attempted and failed

IIRC Reddit's "in" with Conde Nast (who eventually purchased them) was a social networking site targeted at women, owned and branded by CN, with Reddit's tech.

While not exactly like HN, http://reddit.com/r/women/ is about as close as you are going to get I think.

Read that for marketing ideas, but if you want real issues, read this: http://www.reddit.com/r/feminism

Here is why: http://twitter.com/vsedach/status/26207494600

Feminists might not fun, but their companionship frees me from the social burden of having to be a gentleman

If we're discussing (arche|stereo)types, then women like to talk more then men (i.e., face-to-face interaction). Therefore, they aren't as likely to spend time on a glorified Internet chat board like HN.
