Guest Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I've just voted in the "Girls only on the girls Forum" poll, and found that nearly 60% are voting NO to girls only. What's the point of a girls ONLY forum then???
Ellen-Jay Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Most of those voting would be men! Ellen-Jay --------------------------------------------------- The shoes aren't sensible, so why is the talk?
Guest Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Then they must obviously still have gender issues of their own then!!!
Bubba136 Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Actually taking a poll on the "girls only" question isn't reallynecessarybecause it has already been determined, for the best in my opinion, to allow the girls (real girls) to have their own page. So, what's the point? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Laurieheels Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Well guess what. Since I'm the moderator, I can consider the vote, but I'll only use it as a guideline. So if I find guys posting too much for my liking, I have the moderator tools to deal with it. After all, if guys are chasing away input from females, then there's an obvious issue to be dealt with. We cannot say "we are an open minded community with respect for others and desiring respect for ourselves" and then not respect the issue of females who might not be ready to share their high heeled experiences with men on every level. University had co-ed bathrooms, but for the most part, we still have a men's room and a women's room, and there is a nice aspect of a secret societal bond between women when they go to the powder room and make men wonder what is going on. Just as the boys like to get together some times, so do the girls, and I think we need to respect that. We are all equal, sure, but we're not the same. And space is needed on either side of this issue.
katie Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 We went to a friends wedding. They'd done the reception by booking out a whole pub, which worked out really nicely. So I go to the loo (which was downstairs in the basement), and I come back and say "Hey, guys. Whats the boys bathroom like?" And they say "It's normal. Why?" And then we had to escort all the boys downstairs because they didn't believe me when I said; "Because the girls loo is HUGE. There's atriums and waiting areas with sofas and full height mirrors and fountains..." And they really were there.
