There are probably a lot of women on these forums, but they might not be as active due to several reasons. When you look at nature, in particular avians, it is most typically the male of the species that has the colourful plumage that i'll call the Look At Me Effect, (aka LAME) and the male works hard to attract the female, in this human are erroneous, with the women making themselves pretty to attract the male. When i look at male behaviour regarding car and computer modification, then i think LAME. Women like most female species in nature don’t need to be LAME, which might be why so few of us post project logs. roflmao
One problem that I think scares off many females is whilst most males pick a gender neutral username, most female's usernames just scream out "I'M A GRRL", ie I_love_ponies or something similar. Then you get the inevitable rush of sexually frustrated males ensuring that they don't return
I once logged onto a CS game under the alias Alice for some reason... That was hellish! "OMG Gurl! Boobs!"
Typical. As usual the woman takes a perfectly rational question and turns it into a battle of the sexes piece of ********. Get over yourself please, you all have just as many flaws as men do. Men can be irrational so can women, there are fat, ugly, psychotic, manipulative, annoying, etc people OF BOTH SEXES. Now please, for the love of god, learn to differentiate between individual variation of character, and gender induced similarities. It gets old to hear feminazi bitches constantly trying to pull one over on men for no good reason. Women aren't discriminated against in law, nor in 99% of social situations. Those times when sexual discrimination is present are isolated. In fact, theres probably more sexual discrimination for men. I have hair halfway down my back. Its not ragged or horrible, but it is long. because of that, I will forever be looked down upon in job interviews. Women do not have that problem. Other examples abound.
Whoa, GB.... have a bit of resentment going on there? I think Mandy_Modded was just making a joke. Didn't detect any over serious or as you call it "feminazi" tendencies there.
Not just birds, it's like that with the vast vast majority of animals. And, to an extent, it was with us, but fashions do change and it's women that try and attract a male mate now.
Thats what annoys me. The out and out man haters are easy to avoid and just deal with, but the ones who just make constant little jokes piss me off, because they'll insist to the ends of the earth that they're only joking, then when you point out that they do it CONSTANTLY and at every opportunity, so logically there must be something underneath it, they just get moody.
I was about to say what a well written piece, then CK had to go and post the quote below, as you say JJ, comedy gold However, I do like that you continually question the world around you CK, it shows you have an inquisitive mind.
Well, in his defence, I read your username as "c-p-emma". So yeah. You can kiss me for a fiver though. Or more. I'll be gentle.
Following various links led me to the Tempgrrrl experiment. I'm now ashamed to be a guy I can't imagine being so desperate as to jump on someone purely on the basis of their name being "hot1chixor-xx". I mean, honestly. The internet is flooded with porn. The world is flooded with gorgeous women (round my way, anyhow). Why would a screenname excite you? Anyway, how utterly clueless would you have to be to think that "omg nude photos!" might be a successful plea? As for gentle ribbing....yes. Gentle ribbing is okay.
I've always thought that they don't know what there talking about, one of them was like "what's Oblivion" to the other one!
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's three times. Gorgeous women all 'round! A screenname excites the type of people who spend most of their times in their bedrooms in their parents' house on the interwebs, I guess. Us, true men, who look at (female) tits and (female) arse all day long, do not suffer from such an online obsession. Speaking of which, if I don't get to do that Phillipino girl at work I'm going to cry. She has the best arse ever. I may be drunk.
Scirocco & Ramble were able to see my post for the joke it was intended to be. i thought the ROFLMAO at the end was a dead giveaway of intended humour. No wonder women don’t participate more on these logs & forums, look at the response I got from GB to what was a joke post, outright attack. At the risk of highjack, Quote: Originally Posted by GuitarBizarre Women aren't discriminated against in law, nor in 99% of social situations. GB has the gall to call my post ********, then posts that, (we could go on for days, but lets not), get real GB. The biggest joke about this, I was born male, so being called a feminazi is just so damn funny. My apologies, I rose to the bait and needed to reply
