Woman's Forum

[GeneCC]

Does anyone else think that we need a Woman's Forum that lets them discuss such topics as....

1. Concealed carry for women
2. Hunting for women and girls.
3. Coping with Gun Control ninnies who try to appeal to women (Mom's Demand Action, etc).

Such a forum would allow women to discuss between themselves these issues without having to put up with being hit on, dealing with guys and let them discuss things in their own ways?

I got the impression somehow that they had one or kept in contact via other methods.

Dunno - I'm not stalking them (yet)...

I think it's a good idea to have a section for women. I've seen it on other sites like the survivor forum and seem to add a positive aspect to those forums.

In my time here I've seen quite a few women join. A couple are regular contributors here but most post a couple of times and then quickly seem to disappear. The 2nd is something that we can use all the support we can get. Women being chased off for whatever reason does not help the cause. Having most of the forum as it is, but one section for women couldn't hurt in my opinion.

Unfortunately, there's an old Russian saying from the time of the Tsars, "put it in the petition box" which is what happens to most suggestions here.

There was a woman here at one point that did in fact open a woman only forum. I think it since closed but when discussed here, basically it came down to how do you keep the guys from commenting..

Personally I like the feminine POV, they do bring up different thoughts, they are obviously more protective of family values.

Meleanie Hain was one of the more respected ladies here in her day, There are still others, they generally speak up when they have to and I can respect that.

Of course, there is a little banter back and forth.. Example, I like Tootie's deck, she wants some of my sauce.. (Spaghetti sauce your pervs!)

Many of us left for a while some have yet to come back when the idea of a lady only area was proposed at one point.. I don't know how difficult it would be to setup, but maybe in days to come, it is something the new mods can bring to the forum meetings they must have.

If this is for your wife/daughter you might have them look up http://www.2asisters.org/ If its so you can lurk, just go to the gun babe thread

An example here from the survivalist forum.

Whether is a good idea or not it will never happen here.

This is sexist, genderist and just plain wrongist. Who will stand in judgement and decide what an obsolete, patriarchal term like a so-called "woman" is? If this forum is considered than I demand the following forums be considered as well:

Androgynes
Androgynous
Bigender
Cis
Cis Female
Cis Male
Cis Man
Cis Woman
Cisgender
Cisgender Female
Cisgender Male
Cisgender Man
Cisgender Woman
Female to Male
FTM
Gender Fluid
Gender Nonconforming
Gender Questioning
Gender Variant
Genderqueer
Intersex
Male to Female
MTF
Neither
Neutrois
Non-binary
Other
Pangender
Trans

In the words of the site owner from the above linked thread ....

This will not be implemented for the reasons already listed by doug.

But to point them out again in my own words...

1. It will segment the community. We are gun owners. We are black, white, liberal, conservative, male, female, gay, straight. I have no interest in dividing us into cliques, I seriously doubt the positives of doing so will outweigh the negatives.

2. It will be impossible to enforce, we have absolutely no way of determining who is male or female based on an anonymous account, so anyone will be able to post anyway. We also have no interest in enforcing this, the forum takes up enough of our time as it is.

With that said, I expect every member of this community to treat every other member of this community with a certain amount of respect.

I don't expect everyone to agree, I don't expect people to not point out when someone does or says something stupid. But I do expect everyone regardless of gender or race to be treated with the same basic level of respect.

ETA this was back in 2008, who knows, maybe it'll get some traction now?
