You must not be much for cults or religions. Every religion naturally creates a space where certain norms prevail; the problem has always been that truth-seeking spaces tend to be secular, and full of inflexible males without many females to act as social glue.
This is not a problem with an easy solution. I'm guessing you've read my post on Venus and Mars, so you know that what you describe as truth-seeking is far less popular with the female gender. Maybe, a truth seeking space founded by rich, educated bachelors? ...With a solid dress code?
Doesn't that kind of describe the Silicon Valley subculture? I'm not sure, I've never been there. As for the gender differences, I agree with the observation. Though I'd guess that communication style might play some kind of role, as well as the fact that women tend to score higher on agreeableness.
By the way, I've had the song Sahara stuck in my head for the past two weeks, thanks to your reminding me of it!
I've uh, been to Silicon Valley. It doesn't have much of a dress code.
And it's probably not only Agreeableness making women tend to be more concerned with not giving offense--women also tend to score higher in Neuroticism, making most women more sensitive to offenses received. And it turns out that if you rotate Agreeableness about 50 degrees into Neuroticism, you have HEXACO Emotionality.
Sahara gives me a rich aesthetic experience. It still gives me a feeling of urgency and danger, partly because (years ago) I was listening to that song when we had to rush our second son to the hospital for encephalitis.
