CN,
Believe or not, your participation here is playing heavily in thoughts and considerations of the new site. There is an active and widespread desire to broaden appeal to as many people as possible and especially not alienate women based on off handed comments or even direct sexism.
I think you could be a good asset there and help inform and guide the subject even more as a participant. I can’t promise you all puppy dogs and rainbows all the time but a huge part of the structure of the new site is very aware of how various decisions and actions might be off putting and they are working to make it as open and inclusive to as many people as possible.
This includes right wing and centrist posters of any sex and more extreme left wing posters who go beyond the general demographic. While I am not involved in the overall design and structure (although we all are contributing to the project) I support that openness. And again I think you could be a highly valued contributor there.
Obviously nobody will fault you one way or the other but like many, you are free to participate here and there. There seems to be a handful of moderators who are openly hostile to people who choose to participate in both sites but I assume the upcoming civility sweep will allow those mods to adjust themselves and not drive off more high quality users.
You can certainly try both and go where you feel more comfortable, which may be one or the other, neither or both.
