Fnord, the women on this site do not want a sub-forum so that we can talk about you. We can do that in PMs. :wink:

You can do whatever you like in your private spaces, but I don't think the forum should give space to such things. Besides most of the women I see advocating the exclusion of the opposite sex from that section are the same who sometimes post misandrous stuff.

Excuse me ? Unlike you, Fnord, I have a young family and minor children who need my time and attention.

As for the rest of your rant - SERIOUSLY ? YOU attack people for no reason other than they have life issues that are NOTHING compared to your own, hijack threads you don't agree with, argue both sides of the fences and YOU are afraid that I would run YOU off ? LOL.

Remember that thread where you accused me of wanting to keep my son "small and manageable" due to my "selfishness" and wanting to "save money on his food and medications" ? I am still not sure why you weren't warned / moderated to lay off your attack on me, but MAYBE that was out of sheer compassion for you ? Your post here is so bizarre and out of touch with reality that even I feel sorry for you. I doubt that anyone here actually cares TWO HOOTS about you to talk about you or care about what your personality is, in real life. Personally, all I care is that you kindly stay out of my threads as you have nothing to contribute to me. But keep attacking me and Karma might decide that you need to be taught a sharp lesson.

NOW, this thread may be locked. I have said my piece to the one individual who irritated me no end on this forum, and BOY DOES THAT FEEL GOOD. I apologize to the mods for this rant, but Fnord has had it coming to him a long time. He just basically asked for it.

Your post here is so bizarre and out of touch with reality that even I feel sorry for you. Seriously, dude, your insecurity and your belief that people here actually care TWO HOOTS about you to care about what you are in real life, and how your personality is. Frankly, I don't care what your personality is. All I care is that you stay out of my threads. Karma isn't a nice Entity at all. Your adult children might suddenly experience something that requires you and your precious wife to take care of them round-the-clock. Maybe they will also undergo personality changes and then your tunes might change. I don't want to talk about your children who have done me no harm aside from the fact that they are YOUR children, so I will stop here.

But seriously get over yourself. You aren't all that, and I personally did not start this thread with YOU in mind. You need help, sir, and help for what I perceive to be significant paranoia and megalomania, not to mention your frequently hateful thoughts and posts towards other people.

So ? Am I supposed to shake and quiver with fear that you - GASP ! !! - quoted me here "for posterity" ? I hope you realize that your hateful, hurtful posts towards me are also saved "for posterity".

I think Adamantium had a point that a good start would be for the rules of the Women's Discussion to be adhered to and enforced. If the men who go there to make a discussion all about them got warning for doing so, they might think twice before doing so.

But I think a sub-forum where only those whose gender shows female can post or even read is a reasonable request. There's already a sub-forum or two where, if a woman wants input from men, or men want to talk about an issue related to women with their input, they can do so.

Keep things civil y'all, and on topic.

From a technical standpoint it is not possible to gender exclude nor is desirable.

Member who break the rules should be dealt with appropriately, however please don't tar everyone with the same brush.

Open discussions are in all of our interests, this is not the solution.

Open discussions are the solution. Showing civil restraint also helps.

What would this achieve? Other then giving a false sense of security, as mentioned before there is no way to check gender and some people don't identify with their sex.

That is what I meant. The OPs proposal is not the solution.

I agree with Hopper.

The posts that certain members make in Women's Discussion are in clear breach of WP rules.
They need to be ignored and reported consistently to make any kind of difference.

I still wonder if I would be welcome in a women's only forum.
Probably not.
What happens with gender fluid people?

Agreed. In my opinion, implementing a proposal like that would do more harm than good.

I'm drafting a proposal based on androbot01 Women's and Men's Health, which would look at complement sections like Sexuality, Gender and LGBT Discussion.

I would love to see a women's only forum where I could post free from harrassment.
I don't think the male members could comprehend this.
Having female on your profile is a b***h.
I never had any problem with harrassment when the gender wasn't displayed and most members assumed I was male.

Do you mean people who might be androtropic one day and gynotropic the next? It's hard to say.

What about cis-males who identify as women, or cis-women who identify as males? Would they be allowed in a "Males Only" or "Females Only" forum? Would they require a closed forum of their own? Would they be kicked out of a closed forum once they completed their transitions?

So many consequences to be determined before closed forums are implemented, regardless of whether or not it is technically possible to do so without building an entirely new website from scratch.
