Where are the women?

This place is way too dominated by men. Introduce yourselves! (please)

Pap - you said there were some new female members?

I miss Bridge Too Far, Sue Whistle, and PompeyLass.

Yes, Lou, what did happen to PompeyLass? She seemed to enjoy a laugh, and didn’t she sign-up for one of your Farmhouse meet-ups?

We need more posting from Intiniki!

The three you mention would certainly be welcome additions. If you still have full membership on SteveWeb you could always PM them. Yes, I know I could do that, but I’d feel awkward doing so (yes, very male and non-metrosexual - parochosexual? - of me, that).

Well, I was expecting some other posters to make their debuts, Lou - but that hasn’t happened so far. The missus was considering posting about the new Fifty Shades books (from Christian’s perspective, apparently) and I would have expected madpurplecow to post by now. She is typically difficult to silence one she gets going.

Maybe our female posters are deterred by the alpha status you have attained on this site or, alternatively, see the female based threads and think “hey, someone has already gone out to bat. I’ll not bother”.

You’ve gotta remember, many of us have been posting on these boards for years. Other people will take a while to spin up, or won’t see the point in the first place and will need some convincing.

Well, that may be my error, but whatever my status is, I don’t like it anymore…I’d like to be able read more female point of views…

C’mon madpurplecow, where are you?!

Hasn’t the bear already written this

Yeah, but she was going to discuss it seriously. She’s very much looking forward to it. Personally, I hope Christian ends up being some Frank Spencer type character that through no fault of his own, gets into S&M scrapes.

Lou, I agree that it would be a good thing if we had more female posters. I also think that there are male posters who should post more. Whatever. Banging on it about it like it’s some sort of conspiracy just doesn’t work for me. Let’s try our best to encourage everyone to post more.

edit: I am drunk and maybe this is the wrong thread or the wrong head.

I didn’t mean it like that, but ok, noted

Enjoy your beer, GB. :slight_smile:

Well, despite GBs interpretation of me banging on about some kind of conspiracy…I’d just like to say again this morning… I really hope some of the female posters come out and say hello! This forum would benefit from some balance… :slight_smile:

Take these comments for what they are; they are probably a reflection of my myopic male world-view, but while I concur that there are more men than women posting on the site, I’m not really seeing the domination. There are no threads entitled “Effective Schlong Maintenance Guide” or “Women, what a load of shit they are, innit?”. We are a (mostly) a pretty refined bunch, and when we’re not, it’s so fucking ridiculous that it is difficult to take offence (I hope so, anyway).

I mean, compare and contrast with other places, and recall that people there were probably having a go at you just because you’re an opinionated female, and consider the likelihood of that happening here. I reckon we’re doing alright. Nowhere near the balance we’re seeking to achieve, but better than most, collective heart in the right place and an intent to do better.

They will post, Lou. Chill :slight_smile:
