Men V. Woman????????
« on: 24 September 2010, 11:35:50 »
I have come on site this morning and wonder what has been going on! :o :o :o


fletchesmrs I think I can sympathise with what I think you are getting at in your numerous posts across two threads last night.

Yes there are a few men on here who will patronize and belittle us.  I have had that, especially in the "Help" sections when I use my long experience of car mechanics, but find my comments are ignored (because I am a women; what does she know?????)but men I have noted also are ignored.  Yes, also some of the boyish banter can be offensive, but usually it is just plain annoying like the "Post Count" issue recently were boys have been playing pranks on each other!

There are other times when I can feel uncomfortable, especially when racial and religious "feeling" are expressed, but that must apply equally to many men on here, not just the women!

So what have we really got on here fletchesmrs??

We have a male orientated site; a car forum; male domain, were most of the membership is male.  As in a pub or club they come on here and express whatever they feel like expressing, but are, unlike in a pub or club, restrained by Forum guidelines and the Admins.

We have therefore a site where us women can come on if we want to join, for whatever reason, the community on here and share the love of the Omega, mechanical things in general, along with all subjects to do with life or so it seems many a time!!! :D :D :D :D

Therefore overall fletchesmrs we contribute to this site knowing that it reflects life, and more importantly for us, is a male dominated area of life consisting of cars, sex, booze, sex, food, sex, football, sex; do I need to go on?  Just like being in a pub or club!

These are the facts then, but believe me, as many members know, I am one of the first to wave a "red card" if there is what I consider inappropiate comment.  Just like in real life there are authorities to approach, the Admins, if you feel agrieved.  This works very well and if you visit this site on a regular basis you would soon understand that fact.

Why then fletchesmrs do you feel the need to launch a sustained attack on the men of this site last night?  Why attack all, and individuals, in what I see as a pre-mediated campaign?  Most men on here are very polite, considerate, and thoughtful, with a healthy respect for women.  So why launch a mass attack?  It is grossly unfair!

This post has gone on long enough, so as you must get my drift by now, lets just say that your "approach" does us women no favours at all, and makes us seem weak and timid as we expect men to give us "special treatment"!!!

We ARE the equal of men fletchesmrs, so we do not need special treatment, and I personally do not need a fellow woman to come on here ranting to achieve some form of special consideration on a male car forum! ::) ::) ::)

To be honest I think you will get it where ever you go, if a topic is over the top and I dont like it I just ignore it whether its meant as a joke or not :)

As someone else said, if you dont like whats on change the channel.   :y

If there was a forum with mainly women I'm sure they would be slagging men off :)

I find a lot of the stuff on here very useful and glad that people have taken the time to do the how-to's and help others out.  :y

As an Omega Owner you have evey right as a woman to help, advice and comment like the rest of us do Lizzie, you also have the same rights as any one else who shares this plannet that we live on, sadly that where it end's.

It seem's to me that far too many men have forgotton how important women actually are to us.  After giving birth and spending most of the early years bring us up, it seems that men then grow a pair and start with thier attitude problems.  It starts as a teenager and in some case they grow up and get respectfull and in others they just get worse.

I will be honest I was horrified at some of the comments i 1st saw towards tracey (fletchesmrs) last night and am therefore not suprised in the slightest that she stood her ground against some of you.  I reckon if you had said hald the stuff to her in her working enviroment her fellow workmates would have decked some of you.

I actually thought the forum was better than this and had grown out of it after the last time it happened.  Women are equal in life, they may be weaker but they are not inferior.

Just because Tracey stood up for herself there was no need to turn on her, yes she got annoyed and said things and maybe added some bad language, but FFS she was pushed into it.

There is only a small % of women on here, Lizzie (bless her) has left a time or 2, Ljay wont post any more, even Debs has considered leaving, the ladies of the forum should be posting more not less.

If you think I am out of order then feel free to PM, this forum should be respectfull and balanced, bloddy hell, we even put up with Del Boy posting on here and he prefers BMW's and Merc's.    ::) :y

I think there needs to be a "how to" witten on this one, but needs to be in 2 parts.

How to get it  :-/

and

What to do when you do get it.  (I have forgotten)  :-[
