Women are free to discuss things that make us uncomfortable as well. They're not free to force anywhere they go to become a safe space and change for the sake of their delicate sensibilities.

As near as I can tell, there is one woman that posts here regularly, Need-A-Vette.. A couple others post occasionally.

I'm just talking about the openly dickish behavior seen in this topic. Some of y'all are pretty cold. If you guys want to make the few women that post here uncomfortable, keep it up. You'll just have another old guys club.

Hey I'm not looking to date the woman on this forum. I treat everybody the same. This is a car forum not a knitting, or what hat goes good with my outfit forum. Like the rest of the real world there are majority and minority posters and a few Canadians!

[Mike Mercury]

if it were Rosie O'Donnell spewing Trump hate, or another person wanting to be in the fashion lime-light... comments will be made about it. I don't see where that is a no-no.

[DAB]

if you take your clothes off and get all slathered with paint and have your picture taken for publication, then your appearance is fair game for discussion.

if you don't want your appearance to be discussed, then do something else. like run the best sandwich stand in Macon, GA. or be a stay at home mom and raise great children.

Just pointing out that most of y'all wouldn't be that cold in person in mixed company like you've been here.

But, point taken. Y'all have fun, I'm out.

i'm not picking on her, but she's the one waving her body for all to see. so that's fair game.

now, if i start to comment on someone else's appearance who is not offering their looks for comment, then that would be wrong. (i once got a hug from Wendy and Beadist, lovely ladies both).

and if you are a lady, and you don't know it already: guys are different from gals. just a fact of life. we like different things, we think and act different. we're not wrong, we're just different.

[Mike Mercury]

maybe this thread should of been in the "Off Topic" section. That way people already know in advance that it's a no-holds-barred discussion area , where one needs to have thick skin to enter.

Can you imagine the s**t show that would ensue if one of the members here posted a picture of himself in body paint?



The savagery of the comments would trigger intervention by the United Nations.

I would venture to say you are correct plus the crudeness of some posters as well.

For sure, miss Beadist not posting here. Girl sure runs into some bad luck!

She has been over to my house a couple times and as I do not do Facebook my wife will chat with her a bit on there!

In fact if you look at my profile page there is a picture of my now gone Z06 and her C4 taken at my house!

Although my size is on the opposite end of the spectrum of the young lady pictured in the first post, this thread morphed into something more interesting...

Pretty much.

Let me be clear here. All of my friends are men. Every last one of them. And I have spent plenty of time at the track. Therefore, thick skin is a must.

There is some good content here (cars/dogs/home improvement/food threads are more my interests), but it's easy to see how some women are turned off by/are run off of this forum.

Some comments I've seen are (and I'm not going to call individuals out by quoting them, as it defeats the purpose):

"Women are stupit"
"No wonder women make less than men"
and various other cute little epithets about women being barefoot/pregnant/in the kitchen/etc...

Kidding around or not...I don't know any woman who would like hearing/seeing that and sticking around for long.

I can't speak for Wendy at all, but I have a feeling this is the reason for her, and maybe others, departure.

Want women to post here? Then maybe lay off the keyboard commando stuff...if you wouldn't say it in person to someone, then don't type it out here.

I'm out.

Not at all. Just don't be a dick, simple as that. And not a delicate flower here, either.

Not looking to date any of you, either. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't treat others (male or female) with respect.

And I don't GAFF about knitting.

[Mike Mercury]

why not create a "Ladies Lounge" section? Not to be "no men allowed"... but an area with a more defined purpose, other than "anything-goes" (which is what an OT section is).

[DAB]

if only there was some guidance....

Yeah...a "safe zone". We need more of those. We can have them in grocery stores and at the mall too. Maybe designate the backseat of the family car a safe zone. "Where seldom is heard a discouraging word".

OR, we could not be all snowflakey and move on.

It's just a fad.
