Since you are a mod, I am surprised at this question.

I believe he was asking the question rhetorically in order to make the very point you're making-that you dont need a "White History Month" in a majority White and White dominated country where history is normally told from the Caucasian point of view.

What I want to know is this: what kind of animal is the cartoon character in his avatar supposed to be? Am I correct in surmisng that thats the only cartoon Duck Billed Platypus in creation?
Its quite cute. But why he is he wearing a devil's costume? Is he trying to pass for a Tasmanian devil?

You all do realize that if we added a men's forum another group would be right behind you complaining about a forum they want, right? Making the same arguments you are making now, just as upset as you are now.

It depends on the request. Not all requests are reasonable, but a request for a man's forum is just as reasonable as a request for woman's forum. Do you agree with that?

Depends on the reason. "Men should have a forum because women do" is not a reasonable request. It's selfish and petty. Requesting a men's forum because there are men's issues that people want to discuss, and will discuss if there's such a forum, that's a reasonable request.

There's issues that are strictly men's issues so I don't have a problem with there being a section of the forum for men. However a straight and non-tranny forum seem pointless to me since they don't really face specific issues pertaining to heterosexuality or being a non-tranny.

Why isn't there a straight and non tranny forum? Because they aren't minorities. Face it, minorities will have special consideration. I'm not saying they should have special rights which I think is BS, but it is only fitting for em to have special consideration since they are discriminated against.

Exactly. I don't want special rights, and I certainly don't get them. Having a womans forum makes sense. Having a guys forum might also make sense, but from what I've read it wasn't a success when you did have one.
I can see reasons for not having a LGBT forum, but jealousy does not seem like a sound reason. Maybe the fact that it isn't used very much might be a sound reason, although that's not to say that it isn't a big help to some people.

Surely the LGBT people are jealous of the people who they see as not being descriminated against? I'll remind you again, its not jealousy. Its getting fed up with double standards.

AS affects mostly men. Why do you have a problem with a forum where women can discuss menstrual flow, shaving intimate body hair, physical differences during pregnancy, hormone issues, hairstyles etc. Many women feel awkward discussing that in a forum where men are likely to respond? Do you really feel a need to be involved in that? I have no issue with a mens forum BTW. It seems that it was tried, and failed.

Like I said, there'd be no problem having a women's forum, if there was a men's one. Its funny that one got shut down. Whatever happened on the women's forum, it would never be shut down. Cause that'd be "sexist".

(That from the first post in this thread.)

This isn't an issue of rights. They don't have any more rights than others. They simply have a gathering place. There's no need for a heterosexual aspie gathering space. "We need one because they have one" isn't a good argument.

That wasn't my argument, I said they shouldn't have one at all.

I doubt it , you quite clearly are homophobic and yet you are either trying to mask it or you don't recognise it yourself.
Why else would you put so much effort into declaring the GLBT community are getting "special treatment".

I think you know very little of this subject and should quit while you're ahead (or behind) :roll:

Didn't you get banned?

Being gay and Aspie, my experience is different than other Aspies and other gay men. There are a substantial enough number of us that it makes sense to have a common place for our threads.

Are gay clubs an affront to straight club goers? Are gay bookstores an affront to straight readers? When straight, white men have trouble talking about their issues, then the case can be made.

You miss the whole point. If you are pushing for equality, you'd be able to talk about your issues in the same thread as straight people. If you weren't allowed to do so, then that would be wrong.

But straight people are just as welcome in the glbt forum as gay/trans people are so what's the problem

It's not a forum for gay/trans people only, it's a forum for discussing gay/trans ISSUES

Murphcop is spEaking his bRanes again i see. Too bad he hasn't got any.

You just show your ignorance everytime you post, and hypocrisy. MR UAF. If someone has an opinion with any negativity against these subjects, you only have enough mental capacity to murmur out "waaccisst", "nnnaaazzzii" "hittlllwwwerr", "homophobic", blah. I think people with low IQ's like yourself should have an exclusive forum.

Yah, I agree. I get mad that there's a hair section specifically for black people. Where's the white people hair section at? Where's the justice in that. Why is it that they make Afro sheen only for people of African descent. Maybe as a white person, I want one too. Have they thought about it. :afro:

This is such an inequality. At least in the south, when white people were labeling restrooms, they were kind enough to give black people their own labeled restroom too. Its an injustice I tells ya! ...an injustice! I don't get my own caucasian hair product section, let alone so much as white guy afro pick! I'm gonna go cry over my straight, white person hair now. :cry:

I did say there should be a Hair thread, cause people get picked on for their hair. Like could we have a ginger thread? Cause only ginger people would know what its like to be ginger, so us evil brunettes and blondes etc will leave our nasty opinions in other forums.

Dddhhyeah, from someone who has trouble stringing a sentence together and quite often totally misses the point at hand, like now? Just not getting caught up in a social trend isn't a sign of a low IQ. People puppets is a sign of it though, people who follow these trends. Cybercondriacs.

How am I missing the point?

It's funny you accuse me of missing the point actually, considering how much you keep going on about the gay-only forum, despite the fact that you (a presumably straight guy?) have posted in therre plenty yourself

so it obviously IS your argument.

it got shut own because no sod used it.
the rest of the site is, presumably, written from a guys POV, thus a women's forum would be needed.
but you can't have one "just cos they have one" as your one is the rest of the site.

any why shouldn't "they" have one at all, as you say?
