Maybe not. Thanks for raising the subject.

I will have to take the counterpoint to this statement. Is this lack of credibility quantifiable?
No women posters may be a reflection of our hobby in general.
As others have said, just read threads you like. Personally, I steer away from anything that's not Cobra or car-related. The other threads I ignore. Actually, this is the type of thread I tend to ignore. Why? While it purports to want things they way they used to be (credible, respectful, many women), back when Eddie Haskell and The Beave were on TV (hyperbole), what actually results is a bashing thread...the exact opposite (e.g., no respect, no credibility, no women, etc.).
This site is very helpful (e.g., EFI, Webers, Tires, Breakfasts, Ring Gears, Vacuum Advance, Cylinder Heads, ERA ordering options, etc.). I still search around and get answers to my questions, I still enjoy 99.99% of the people here.
Just my $0.02.
