As a fierce disliker of double standards in all shapes and forms, I question the practice of having a forum catering specifically to women, with no male counterpart.
I thought of this especially when I saw a thread titled something along the lines of "Urgh I hate boys..."
We've had this discussion repeatedly, and you must have missed it. The percentage of male to female members here is about 5 to 1. The entire boards are a men's forum, in case you hadn't noticed. The decision was made to create a special, small corner in which women could talk about their issues comfortably and without ridicule. Before that sub-forum was created, in threads where women mentioned issues like periods or, say, birth control, they were getting comments like "Gross!" or "Ugh, go someplace else with that talk."
Again, these boards are largely male dominated. So don't begrudge the girls their special little safe zone. We have had plenty of threads in the past in Sexuality and other places where men have expressed their dislike of women, by the way. We want to keep this an open discussion forum as much as possible and make it a safe place for both genders to talk openly.
Hmm, i have to agree with birdgirl on this one actually if you take a look around shes right you got about 80% male members here, so let the ladies have their own little section where no man is allowed! :eek:
lol... yeah and i posted in he other... can't remember what it was but i came down to ... there really is no male issues.... well not atleast any level at what the women have...
i honestly don't see a need for it (and i'm male) i mean we don't have to discuss shit like underwear, clothes, boyfriend problems, tampons/pads, etc etc... (atleast... I HOPE)
the most common question from guys is advice on relationships... and since sexuality was changed from sexuality to sexuality AND relationships, it all kinda falls in there anyways.... and for stuff like STD's/medical problems, there's the medical forum... gaming? there's a forum for that too... sports? that as well...
i don't know if you see where i'm going with this but basicly any thread i can i think of that would need to be posted in a guys forum fits comfterably in one of the many other forums we have..
AHAHAHA LMAO :stoned:Quote:

Guys, this is sad...we need more female stoners lol!
I didn't realize the huge majority ratio....I just thought this was just another example of men getting the short end of the stick in the world today....
Incidentally, though, guys also have gross stuff they talk about....
