Now you've asked the mythical sixty-four thousand dollar question.
I think when that situation changes, our paradigm will shift in a major fashion.
The reason that there aren't more is the same reason that there aren't more female auto mechanics, or doctors....it is traditionally a male dominated field.
I think it would be a lot harder for a woman in some ways, and easier in others.
Ordering chemicals would have been a breeze if I had had a short skirt ( and what was under it ) to distract the old, lecherous Aldrich chemicals rep we used to order from. (JK)
but this situation can be rectified, all it takes is effort on your part, ladies....
For many women, the agenda that is their life is still set by men, be it their father, or their husbands....catering to some dude for 20 years isn't conducive to self-directed activity.
It is really incumbent upon women to investigate that area, since psychonauts need all the numbers we can generate, in order to develop real presence and actually have a hope at defusing the witch-hunters.
I think that the forces of censorship and repression are MUCH more a part of any womans reality than, mine, for instance, If some asshole man tells me something I don't like, here in the deep south, then I have no compunctions against sticking my middle finger in his fat, redneck face, and following it with the rest of the equation, if necessary.
(but it's just about never necessary, because men here know you can't treat each other the way you treat women, or you'll be having serious problems)
Women are much more subject to the " you ought to " line, and coercion and influence have a much more negative effect on their lives. It's hard to be a woman who does what she really wants.
In fact, I've never met a single one who just said, 'you know what, I run this show, and I 'll do what I want, when I want'...and proceed to go about it...
No, in many ways you still aren't free, ladies.
The only way to demand that freedom isn't protests, or politics, it's to follow the example set in the 60's, by the bra burners, et al...you must reject the parts of this reality that is unpalatable, and nudge everyone forward by your actions.
I want to see it happen, it can only help everyone.
...what a scintillating wit i have 
and i'm sober too!!) has made my life better and a better person of me. outside of this site i know one guy who i'm slowly initiating to psychonautics to save him from drug abuse. In my family there's a tendency towards introspectionism and various exotic techniques, but my parents are old hippies who profess a drug free world, cause by buyin' drugs (and using them) you are just another pawn in the hands of the system. as a matter of fact neither of them smokes or drinks coffee :?
