The whold world is the Men's Room!
But all kidding aside, I can't really imagine that many men would have those kind of conversations online. In my experience they don't happen in person very often unless someone is pretty drunk.

I know...but I think the IDEA of a Men's Room here would have the monkeys rattling cages and throwing pooh, providing a measure of entertainment value.

In the Ladies Room, the chances of that occurring are less, due to the moderation, and when/if it does, the remark will be removed, which helps the thread stay on topic.

99% of topics on Rc venture off into the unkown, much like this one. Why, when it is a womens topics.. should it be any differant?. Are your issues more important than w/e issue was of any other topic?. Ofc.. yopu are a ''minority''.. clear the way guys.
Men hitting on women, will that ever change?.... not unless the power/s that be re write nature itself.
A mans forum is not needed, since you do not see poster names like MexicanMaleClimber who has a issue like ''not matter how much i shake.. or flick.. or squeeze.. the last drop always runs down my leg!''.
Shit rolls down hill indeed, but their is more than one side to a hill. But w/e.. the world is flat, meh? who cares.

No, I mean a section where if women came in and said, of a guy upset because no matter how much he shakes, squeezes, flicks, the pee still runs down his leg, something like "Well you know...some people are into water sports." and then sent the guy a PM trying to hit on him, the comment would be deleted and she would get the mod smackdown.
Yes - I know it is unnecessary. The post was a spontaneous attempt at humor.

It is not that women's issues are more important. It is because without some moderation, the space would become unsafe for some of the women.
If you cannot understand why that would be, I cannot help you.

Why would you look any further? All that time trying to gain equality... and look what you gone and done. We are not the ones keeping you down  . You can't keep us down, and I can't understand your post. We're even, I suppose. The Op's website in regards to male/female equality is compareble to ''the cop stopped me coz i is black''. The fact that the car was flashing up stolen, just a detail. I do not see poeple here pointing out ''male'' spacific feets.. just individual feets that happen to be mostly from men. It gets on my fking nerves when women have to point out the fact that they are women. Btw, why is their a need to have a spacific women's sub forum on RC?. Another pointless and moronic devide.I respect women as equal.. so fking respect me back as it?... you don't need ''special'' treatments. Lets not stop their though. I suggest the following. Sub forums to be added: - For overweight people - For coulerd peoples - For disabled people Female climbers are a minority in this sport. Women are built different, we have periods and the ability to have babies, we have different training needs in the sence we have different strengths and weaknessnes because of our bodies. In reply to: It can also be hard to find practical gear and clothing that work for rock and ice climbing. They just don't make the same amount of stuff for women as they do for men, or at least the stores don't carry the same selection. And even when there is and it is carried it can be lower functionality for the sake of being "more attractive". funny i havent noticed that In reply to: We also look at issues differently. There are too many factors here to pin it down, but in general women tend to be more empathetic and more emotional (or at least show it more) than men. no shit!!! Editing is weak and Khoi is correct. |

A person may say ''hey, fat guy'' i can picture you saying ''hey, gravity challenged guy''. I think this one may have tipped the scale for a ban ;/. To many narrow minded people here anyway.

So... what was this thread about before ceebo assumed the position of unintelligible antagonist?
To the OP, this thread has proved the need for moderation on your site. Keep up the good work on your end.

Do you realize that by adding the second half of your post you completely undercut the otherwise excellent first half? It's like you wanted to demonstrate that you actually don't have a clue as to why there is a Ladies Room, even though you (clearly) do.
