icegirl Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Some of the women of cc.com and I were chatting this evening and came up with an interesting idea... How about a Women's forum? We've got a forum for everything else... How about it Jon and Timm@y? It would be nice for the women to have a place to ask other women climbing related questions (like what clothes to wear, etc..) without men always chiming in (if we want that we can post in spray The catch... (you knew there would be one) The boys can read, but not post... Heck, it should work out great, we know you like to watch -Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snugtop Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Laura's onto something here. Snugtop lends her full support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 could female avatars post? would a new person registering with a female name automatically get posting privileges or would you ask for a sex test first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icegirl Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 they'd have to prove their femaleness before getting posting privledges. I'd take the time to wade through the mess and figure out the logistics if given the chance... and no, dru, being in touch with your feminine side does not count...

foraker Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 if you need more proof that they're tired of unfettered sausage fests, i can't think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 why is this on the climbers forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icegirl Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 where else would be... if I wanted it in spray I'd have put it there..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 A better name for it would be the "Women's Gossip Forum." If they get that, I want a "Male Bonding Forum." (crude toilet humor would be the norm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icegirl Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 Uh, I thought that was spray... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snugtop Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I thought cc.com was the male bonding forum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 i want to know how they are gonna prove they are female. obviously seattle based ones could show up at pub club to get "approved" but other than that? are they gonna have to send you live webcam feed (pictures can be faked or obtained in many places)? I think its gonna be pretty near impossible to verify in many cases. I volunteer to look at photos though if you ask for photos for verification.

willstrickland Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Icegirl you need to be more like Bush, a uniter not a divider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But gee, we wouldn't want them all to show up at PC, now would we? that might destroy the fraternal atmosphere... Like I said, this was just a thought tossed around, so far other than snugtop, the only responses have been from guys... So, maybe not a good idea... never hurts to ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoboy Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 We are allowed to respond, it's not like this is a "girl's only forum" is it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icegirl Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 you are totally allowed to respond... all I was noting was the absence of female response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoboy Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Oh, heh, sorry. Kind of a touchy subject for me. still, %-wise, you are probably doing pretty good so far. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griz Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 It might be a good idea for down the road but with the low #'s of female posters here now I think it would get stale pretty quick. How many times can you talk about the latest harness or bib that allows you to pee easily while roped up, ya know? Or how good/bad it is to be involved in a largely male sport? But who knows and who am I to say? It just might encourage some new female perspective to cc.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderfour Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Uh, I thought that was spray... So the new forum could be called "mist"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtguide Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 (edited) Bush is a uniter? The last time I looked,he's completely squandered our international diplomatic goodwill,and an international poll quoted on CNN,MSNBC,and FOX showed that fully 2/3 of repondents in 6 European nations thought Bush was largely having a negative effect on international relations.When even FOX news reports something like that,there must be something to it. Domestically Bush's suggestion for a constitutional amendment regarding gay marriage(yeah,right,like that's gonna happen)has already exacerbated division between people of all political and religious persuasions all over the country,including within the Republican party.Your statement is not apropos of reality.About the only uniting Bush has done is among the fat cats,the upper 1% of the economic scale,and narrow-minded religious right wing bigots.Some unity. Furthermore,Bush administration positions on abortion,womens' rights,and family planning are hardly anything that any group of intelligent,free-thinking women would likely want to emulate.So please,let's NOT have anyone or anything being more like Bush,the most disastrous so-called president we have ever had. Getting back to the subject at hand,I think the idea of a women's forum is an excellent idea,and should definitely be free of male postings.And we might stand to really learn something about women AND ourselves,guys.I'd certainly welcome the opportunity;show me one guy who says he understands women,and I'll show you a big fat liar.I hear women say the same thing about men all the time.
