As for the few idiots, there's always going to be some of them everywhere you go and most girls are pretty good at holding their own and taking care of themselves. I also feel secure in the knowledge that everyone here has administrators etc. to help sort out any issues you can't solve yourself. I don't think we need to advertise how safe this forum is for women in order to attract more of them. I don't know of any women who would wonder if they'd be safe before checking out a forum they were interested in.
I think the lack of females is just due to the fact that more guys are interested in cars than girls in our current culture. Finding a partner who has common interests is a great way to start a relationship so I'm not surprised lots of people meet partners here. For those who don't find a girl around here who shares your passion for cars, there's always your star trek conventions ;)

spot on DQ, there is no reason to feel "un-safe" on an internet forum, especially this 1.
the lack of females is due to exactly what you said (have we got a thumbs up smiley yet ?)
