Well, I've never been sympathetic to the language and politics of "diversity", but I think it's especially, gratuitously inapt here. I suspect very strongly that women and men are present on youtube in comparable numbers. Youtube has mass awareness.

The problem discussed here has nothing to do with representation in specific spheres of activity; it's driven by specifically being female in the presence of men. Women walking by men on the street get catcalled, even though walking on the street is open to, and participated in by, all. The female commenters you mention are not trying to hide their "diversity" status, they're trying to hide their female status.
