The trouble with a womans brain, you never now what is going to be a given output for a given input. Their gain is set so high the slightest drift in their plant and they enter the right hand quadrant.

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything." (Ephesians 5:22-24)

Well... I guess I should pipe in finally.

Quote from above: ^^ "most of the women on this site---don't complain about the incivilities dished out to them.

They just go away."


Yup^^^ that sums it up.


I have, in fact, been avoiding posting on this site. Erik has as well. Mostly due to one person in particular. Most as#@&%es can yell louder than me so I'm not really going to waste my time arguing with them.

I have a thick skin. I can usually take it. I've spent my whole life around curmudgeons and guys who don't candy-coat things. I don't mind if people disagree with me. I generally take name-calling with a grain of salt and I love the diversity of personalities here. I don't really want it to change. Guys will be guys and I feel huge amount of affection for this community.

What I cannot tolerate is random acts of vandalism. Stalking my comments. Shitting and pissing stupid and totally random viscous childish commentary all over any thread I dare get involved in or post. Totally ruining any thread they touch. So as long as it is going on- I am not really interested in contributing.

So let's recap:

L:
Do you really want nothing but guys posting here cause women have been chased away by calling us names?

Pate:
Climbing is a men's club and always has been. Men have always outnumbered women and always will.

Pass the Piton Pete:
Everyone calls everyone else names! To say that you are being called names because you are female is ludicrous. It's the internet - grow a thicker skin.

Dr. Sprok:
it is just a weeding out process, we do not want to climb with girls, we depend on the belayer to be a woman who spits tabaccy and swears like a sailor.

Binks:
Are women really too sensitive for this forum and have been driven off? I don't think so. I think it just does not interest them here as much as it does the men. Forums dominated by women tend to focus primarily on relationships.

Jaybro:

Followed by Wayno:
"take a walk on the wild side..."

And S. Leeper:
yES. bRING ON the womens.

Prod:
Jaybro...HAhahahahhahahaahaahhaaha

Pate follow up:
However, if you want to see who gets the real work done, I suggest paying attention to your guidebooks and reading who the FA's are. I'm going to take a wild guess that out of the 100+ guidebooks I own less than 1% of the routes had a female in the FA party.

And as for the question about wanting a men's club, I, for one, do not believe in the complete de-genderization and integration of all things. It's lame, and it leads to futile arguments that have been flogged here at ST many times about how women should be treated if they want to be playing on a level field.

Pate Follow up:
Maybe there should be a separate tab for females?

Melissa:
Any time you suggest that there is misogyny here, many will shout you down and tell you that there is none.


Jaundefuca:
The trouble with a womans brain, you never now what is going to be a given output for a given input. Their gain is set so high the slightest drift in their plant and they enter the right hand quadrant.

Jaundefuca:
"For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man." (I Corinthians 11:8-9)

Roger's list is damning.

And doesn't even mention the off-line harassment of SuperTopians who are identifiably female. Some of it is, by reliable reports, appalling. If you are subject to such ugliness, do three things:
1. Keep copies of everything.
2. Forward it to CMac.
3. If necessary, post it here and 'out' the basturd. Or send it to me and I'll do it for you, with your identifying information removed.

Yes, we're mostly grownups, and yes the world isn't always sugar and spice. That doesn't mean we have licence to be rude, gross, or harass others.

Good synopsis Roger!

As we can all see, the Taco is NOT prejudiced towards women...it's the WORLD that is. Thank you for setting us gals straight, gentlemen...er...perhaps that's the wrong term...;-)



Jaybro...you're getting a lot of mileage with that photo of me. I want residuals!

Beth...luv you, too, GF! Will always be there for ya. Serious.

Crimpie...you're the best. The Taco is so much less without you. But it's all about baby-steps...baby-steps.



Taking baby-steps and carrying an AK-47....;-)

We all, male and female, seem a lot more collegial when we only talk about climbing. Religion and politics, in particular, bring out the worst in us.

Yeah donini,
Ya gotta expect to be flamed on an OT post if it doesn't conform to someone's personal beliefs but I think we respect each other as climbers, regardless of gender and ability, for the most part.

Diss me on my climbing and I'm not gonna take it. (for the most part)
