Women's Issues forum....no Men's Issues forum

[cannabis=freedom]

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..."

Slip, I emailed Greenjeans last night but haven't heard back from the crazy chiquita. *sigh* I miss her.

You fellas are bold enough to discuss all your issues all over the boards... it's all good. The male-specific medical issues can go in medical. You guys are a bit simpler... us chicks get reminded monthly of the trials and tribulations that come with being female... It's nice to have a place to talk about that sort of stuff without some dude chiming in with "ewwww" as we have SO often seen on virtually any thread that deals with periods. Sheesh. It gets O-L-D.

It was asked before, I believe the response was that it wasn't necessary because there are a lot more women's issues then men's. I think you're right, but I could go either way.

Why not, we have some issues..I see plenty of only men threads in the sexuality forum.

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!
