Why would we want to exclude them?...

Maybe they could set up one, and call it 'This is Sparta!!"...

I think, if pressed, many women would retort that all the forums are male forums...

haha, I doubt that all of them would though.

Actually, a few HAVE asked. I haven't.

Someone has asked for a forum for men? Do you have a link?

HECK, even HERE it was asked. Why go searching for what I know, but don't care about?

And WHERE are the AUTISTIC gender specific issues?

In the link above, about "Female Aspies."

NOPE! It isn't a ONE GENDER issue!

WATCH MOVIES! LOOK AT TV SERIES!

"ARE YOU KIDDING!?!?!?!?" Movies and TV are fiction. I was hoping to hear something about real people. And no, I haven't been in school for a while. I know of a lot of things that have changed in the culture and I was wondering whether this was one of them.

Actually, they ARE about reality! You are not THAT much older than I am(you weren't even in highschool when I was in the first grade), and I have seen movies/series about YOUR era, and earlier. So NOPE! Men HAVE had the same problem, and WORSE!

Are you REALLY going to say that my experience is wrong, that EVERYONE I have spoken to is lying? That ALL of so many cultures is wrong, AND the TV series and movies are wrong? NOPE!

Males are MORE insecure about talking to women

I gave a link. It was about a man talking to a man about their friendship. Are you allowed to do that these days? When I was a kid, it was practically a felony.

OK, it was supposed to be about WOMENS issues, and I assumed it was a woman talking about a man. HECK, when I was a kid, I didn't think of such a thing as even possible. Boys generally, and I likewise, avoided boys that acted a certain way. It wasn't until later that I realized that boys acting in the way, that the avoided boys were, were often homosexual.

It doesn't check your gender setting to let you read the women's section. I'm pretty sure it's more there so women can talk about the girl-stuff that tends to gross guys out, and the guys can easily avoid said threads.

Funny about the California bathrooms. Though it does make a certain amount of sense. Men use the bathroom to take care of simple biological functions. Women use it, in addition to that, as a retreat and emotional safe-place. I don't get this, but it's true, and it probably wouldn't work for them in unisex bathrooms. It sucks anyway, though. When I was a teen I had some friends who were drag queens, and they once got kicked out of the ladies room, where they were putting on makeup. We were all going, "Huh? You think they're gonna hurt somebody in there? You think they're safe in the men's?" I like Colorado's new law, which lets anybody use whatever damn bathroom they want.

with the lack of amount of clothes girls seem to wear nowdays, they shouldn't really need any physical privacy.

Yeah, they even openly ADMIT it now! It is INTERESTING, because I was once at an event, and the lines to the womens rooms were LONG, and the mens rooms were short, and a woman asked me what was up. She thought the mens rooms were LARGER! Interestingly, if everyone had to do #2, the mens rooms were probably SMALLER! Luckily, most do #1, so the bathrooms probably seem about the same size. Most men just go in, take care of things, and leave. Women are more likely to hang around, and do other things. That isn't so noticable in small places. Get THOUSANDS together, and it is VERY obvious.

But women DO, statistically, go 30% more often, out of need. They go for social and makup reasons as well. I imagine traditional feminine clothing might add to a delay, though that is becoming less of an impact. So THAT probably explains the difference in the lines. So someone fought this problem in the courts of california.

WOW! The idea of males, even as "drag queens" being in the women's room is just stupid. If they want to be "drag queens", they should go to the restroom in the mens rooms(and submit to expected treatment), and dress in a janitors closet or something. When I was a kid, some boys pushed boys into the girls restrooms just to make fun of them, and get them in trouble.

Enough with the bathroom jokes.
Why are you guys even commenting when you obviously haven't read the thread?

"Female Aspies? a different presentation?"

Does anyone actually have a gender-specific issue that would make a men's forum desirable? Anyone at all?
