Actually, the term is misandry.

The words misandry and misogyny are both derived from Greek. The prefix mis- means "hatred", -gyny refers to "women", and -andry refers to men.

Thanks for the Greek

How about a forum for insecure and homophobic bigots? :)


You would have to learn what that means first.

He's correct. Misandry isn't a commonly used word, but it is the reverse of misogyny.

Personally, my favourite 'mis' is misanthropy. Equal opportunity 'mis'.

Transparency

... no legal compulsion that can force Alex to behave in a transparent manner ...

... there is a core group for whom these issues are a matter of concern.

How many of us post daily (or at least five times a week or more)?

I believe my own count presently averages a little over 8 posts per day for my entire time here.

What is the overall participation on the board in the last, say, four weeks of those of us who are weighing in on these questions?

I would guess the silent folks are far-and-away the majority here.

It should be a sticky so anyone who wants to do a forum request can post it there.


Thanks League Girl! I was just coming to remind everyone of my topic in random.
These requests are clogging up this section, they should all go in one thread somewhere; MY thread :P

I'm not sure if I'd use it, but I'd at least drop in and read it from time to time. Which I don't do for PPR.

I get the reasoning on combining religion and politics in a forum. Subjects that tend to be contentious. And I don't see any way to have a spirituality forum without religious debate happening at times. But that combination doesn't lend itself to people using it as a place to discuss spirituality.
