a just males section suggestion

[Tommy K]

now before i start i just want to say

i have nothing against women, i have a lot of female friends.


but after having a look at the fact that the ladies of the forum have their own section to talk about women stuff without worrying about the minds of men getting in, i was wondering, maybe there should be one for the guys without having to worry about women being affended by what we say, or what women might think about what we say.

but as i said before, i having against women, i just feel that it would be better if some of us could talk about guy things without the guilt about what if a girl gets offended

I feel relaxed now

I don't think a male only section would happen because we are not a minority group that needs protecting. Think PC.

In the interests of equality then yes there should be one for the men on the board. Will it happen? Probably not, because if the bossbot did, does he further section everyone off? A section only for residents of any one particular state or sexuality maybe? Maybe a section for the fat members of the board, or for those with red hair? (bloody rangas)

Actually we are a minority group, there are more women then men around these days.

Segregate them, segregate them all!!!

Thanks Tommy K, this post has been very amusing.

Let's make a board section for balding fans only. That way we can share photos without risking someone commenting that we look like an open carton of eggs.

since we're making suggestions, i'd like to have an asians only section so we can talk about our noodles in peace.

Wow, this thread has really taken off

I'm bald by choice... does that count or should there be another section for those that choose to cut themselves... ummm, their hair

Before I start, I just want to say that I have nothing against men. My father is a man. And his father before him. And, I believe, his father's father. Peter Cullen played Optimus Prime, and he was a man. A great, great man. But I must say...

...this idea is even more daft than the women's section. Because if you're going to say something that's going to offend someone because they're a woman, well that's a fairly sure sign that it's something that shouldn't be said. To anyone. Ever. So just don't say it!

Meh, seems a waste of time and resources IMO - unlike the women here us dudes aren't a minority on the boards/in the fandom, and since the women-only section has all of 2 posts and 10 views to date you'd be better off just labelling any man-only threads as such in the non-Toy area IMO.
Besides, no offence to any of us here (surprisingly most of us seem to be pretty well-adjusted functional adults), but a web forum for adults who collect transforming robot toys isn't really my first stop for manly advice or male bonding...I'm only here for the Transformers (the helpful community atmosphere is nice too, but that's not a sex-specific thing).
