70% of pinterest users, and 93% of pinterest usage is female. That's probably highly correlated to your (and HN userbase's) confusion about how Pinterest is perceived.

Yeah I signed up for Pinterest once and ticked "prefer not to specify" on the gender question. I also opted not to select any favourite/followed categories.

I was immediately inundated with bridal content and very little else.

There's lots of things mainly used by women but I still know what they're for and generally haven't needed to denounce them.
