Where Males stand in this forum
I wish you would take the time to make a little more sense.
Now, for my comment:
This is wrong. This is the women's discussion forum, agreed, but if males can't have an opinion in a matter that is related to them because some woman doesn't want them there, that is unfair.
Males can have an opinion; they can even express it. Just not on the specific threads where they are asked not to. There are plenty of other places where they could say, "hey, I was reading about this somewhere else and I want to talk about it."--and that's great.
Sometimes it's just important to respect what is and isn't a good time and place for specific opinions.
Specially here. An auties/aspies forum. A place were supposedly, males are if not smarter at least less dumb. A place were macho attitudes shouldn't exist as they are not logical.
As far as I understood, everyone is allowed to be wrong or illogical on wrongplanet. It isn't against the rules.
There are just a few limitations on how, and where.

Good point. Most men would not dare to post there even if they were allowed. That's a good point for me.
Jainaday: That's right, but if someone is being illogical and that illogical statement hurts someone's feelings, shouldn't that person be allowed to express/defend him/herself and/or ask for an apology?
Many times I was wrong about something and had to apology after someone pointed that I was wrong. What if that someone was not allowed to do so. Then I would still be wrong and I would have learned nothing.
Making mistakes doesn't make people learn and grow. Experience makes people learn and grow. Experience is gained by making a mistake and realizing about it!

I believe that hurting someone's feelings with a logical statement is also usually a bad idea.
Sometimes, like in the haven, and like here, there's a good reason to decrease potential antagonism, or potential antagonism of specific kinds. This is true even though we do learn from conflict. No one is asking you to read something that might hurt your feelings without a clear advance understanding that it may not be appropriate to respond; that's why it should be noted in the subject line.

I should clarify my position: If someone antagonizes another one, that another one deserves a chance to clear the reputation... Otherwise... it feels unfair
It's true, no one asks nobody to read something that may be offending, but I am talking about offending out of spite. If there is an intention to be negative about someone or a group, then that is unfair!

I guess that would have to go back to the forum's definition of unacceptable content?

Is it just me or this ended up being a redundancy? I wish I did drink my coffee, my braincells aren't working well apparently. Good thing yours do.
I'm sorry for wasting your time in that case...

I don't think you were wasting my time.
Lso, Kudos for the emotes.

By all means males can post in here, but please respect what the thread title asks. If you are a lady and you don't want males butting in, please state in the topic name that it is for females.
To be honest a lot of the male replies in here have been total rubbish, and see no reason for anyone to find a problem with this rule.

I think I've probably posted here twice. I respect that this is the Women's Forum though I stumble in every once in a while, like right now. While the Adult's Only section is for both, the men have sort of taken it over.
Women on this site get treated badly on most forums and they need a place to be themselves without the unwanted attention.

Well it's not meant as an insult to you men. You guys need to calm down. Sometimes we women post things that we would be embarrassed to talk about around men, and a lot of the time it's things that I've known men to be like "ewww gross" about. There are feminine things that men do not want to hear about and they will be discussed here. So you kind of need to deal with that. Since your all reacting like this. If I post something in this forum that most men I know would not want to talk about I don't wanna get a response saying "ewww gross" or something of that nature. Because it's a woman's section and you knew that coming in here.
no, it wasn't the produce section. But it was the toy section, and the home section - different stores, different guys.
As for the men who look, so what? Don't you look at things/people you find attractive? Unless they're being a**holes about it, what's the problem?
If they're touching yoru breasts, they're being a**holese about it. If they are staring at you wideeyed, they are being a**holes about it, if they are making any remarks about you, they are being a** holes about it
I have a right to keep guys from looking at whatever part of my body I see fit. Why is it you feel that guys have more of a right to drool over me than I have a right to be thought of as a real person instead of a sex object? There have been studies down where women who say, show cleavage, are considered significantly less intelligent by their male counterparts, and are far less likely to be taken seriously at work. Why is that - because the men are seeing them as something to bed, not as a person just like they are.
You clearly don't understand what checking someone out is. A guy grabbing your breastsm, or making an effort to bump into your crotch, or saying, "I'd hit that" is not checking you out. He's being perverted and treating you like a beast
better to do that than to stare wideeyed, drool, and refuse to so much as glance as away. Especially considering I was a teenager when all this was going on.
I don't have any trouble getting down on a one-ton-level with guys when I'm dressed in baggy clothes. When I'm dressed in "typical girl fashion" I'm lucky if I can get msot guys to glance up at my face and pay attention to half of what I say.
You can say "well you dont' know guys' or whatever well fine. But know that at all but one of ever jobs I've held at leas 90% of the employees were men, all my friends are male, and so are all of my active role models. I know how guys talk about women, and what they say about the ones they stare out - because I'm there for those conversations and have been for the bulk of my life (you know the conversations they whisper and only allude to when females are present). I've been told and more than once, that I'm not a girl and that was never meant as an insult.
Whatever. My current realization is that you and I are so polarized on this topic that we probably ought to drop in. I'm moving along.
Thank you for posting this.... You saved me from having to do it.
I agree with what Fossy says, I have no problem with men reading and posting, I am just curious as to WHY they want to read stuff about periods and the like. I wouldn't enjoy reading a thread about penile dysfunction or semen. Some guy enlighten me
