the rating girls posts are getting really ridiculous guys

[Mat Sklansky]

I have determined that there is no way to keep oot entirely friendly to women. Young men hate women. I think this is very close to being factual statement. What I would love to see, however, is a "woman's forum" Do you guys think we have enough females on this site to pull it off? Men could participate, but the whole thing would be moderated by females who could discriminate against males at their own whim. As far as I know we only have 5 females regularly participating: felicia, mrs. npa, mslif, katey seagull, and gorey.

You forgot peachy... SeaSiren is active in the 2+2 forum games but doesn't post much... what happened to AsiaKurasowa? fslexduck is female, I think... [/end stream of consciousness]

[Mat Sklansky]

The more i forgot, the better it is. What i'm asking/ proposing is a twoplustwo forum for females. Do we have enough?

[FeliciaLee]

I think Asia got banned. I hears she was spamming, she claimed she was just saying that Games Grid (or something like that) had some great, juicy games. I'm not sure about the whole story, but at any rate, I guess she decided not to come back, or challenge the ban.

Please don't do this, Mat. I rarely fit in to any culture or even subculture these days. 2+2 is the one place where I've pretty much been accepted all along. Sure, I have some young 18-24 year olds here who want to come to Vegas and party, and don't want a 37 year old coming along to mess up their date with a hooker, but for the most part, I fit in.

Where I don't fit in is with women. Not even 2+2 women. I just don't get them. It's like I'm Pat, no one knows if it's a man or a woman, lol [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Don't change what works. I'll even participate in OOT more often, like I used to. Believe it or not, I've never had a problem there. The guys don't turn me off. Some of the girls do, but the guys I can understand, at least.

Part of the problem is that women don't play as much poker as men. But I would think that 2p2 still tends to over represent men even within this already skewed community, which is kind of a shame. I'm not sure what to do about that, but I think a women's forum might make a few female lurkers feel more comfortable. But Felicia disagrees, and her opinion is probably more valid than mine. Such a forum would be an open inviation for trolling though, and would be bombarded by "why do chicks...?" posts. Furthermore, the necessary strict moderation of this forum would lead to bannings of otherwise decent posters, and accusations of "feminazism" by the mods there.

In all, I'm not sure if a women's forum is a good idea or not. It would probably lead to some contention.
