That has been one of the primary examples used in this thread and complained about. The “Ginger or Maryanne Hypothesis”.
I considered suggesting one where the participants weren’t complete lunatics, but I didn’t want you to feel excluded.

It is my assertion that this has already been brought up several times, and that I am in no mood to pretend that it hasn’t.
2/10 stars on the “Divert Subject” scale.
I came for the pointless aggression, I stayed for the misogyny.
In my opinion the galloping hackles toward new posters has subsided, the obtuse male-centric posts have increased, over my mostly-lurking (for Beckdawrek’s well-explained reasons) tenure.
I’m asking you a direct question. If you’re too chicken shit to answer it, then so be it.
no it won’t solve that, because that kind of stuff will not stay in that forum. it will not prevent idiots from dragging reasonable threads into the gutter.
Why don’t you answer that. Ask yourself if women enjoy having men discuss them in a sexual (who is hotter) context. Just ask and listen.
You have never heard women speak amongst themselves, have you?
I know this is a trick question because you would have had to be close enough physically and socially to hear them and women hate shit stirring trolls.
Look retard, you are one of the*** Muppets of Mysogny ***in all this.
I have a creative-exercise suggestion.
If you are a man, have a thought before you post:
“would I say this to an audience composed entirely of grown up women?”
Just as a counterbalance to what appears to be the prevailing assumption by men here, that they are talking to men and men alone.
By the way, I believe implementing this would even have a dampening effect even on questions which purport to be TO women, in the vein of “what does an orgasm feel like” because some may be beneficially daunted by asking this of a crowd of unamused women who have a perfectly clear idea of why one might be asking it.
Lol…I love the boards new White Knight who defends the women and degrades the handicapped. Keep doing what you are doing Trollenstern.
I intend to. I love you too Muppet.
My answer is 'No". I don’t believe men talking about Ginger or Marry Ann is misogynistic. However, I think it would be rude to have this conversation in the presence of people who are uncomfortable with these conversations.
Heck, I’ve been in the presence of women who talk about the “fine” ass of a coworker, or how they’d like to drink John Hardy’s bath water. It felt awkward, I can understand why others wouldn’t want to be in the room when that was going on. But at no time did I ever think these ladies were being degrading towards men.
Isn’t there another forum, completely unrelated to this one, but known and populated by many of this forum’s members, that is relatively devoted to making sophomoric and juvenile threads?
Why not just post that stuff over there? I’m sure they wouldn’t mind the traffic.
I am not sure how well-explained it was, but it was my true feelings. I know this misogyny is the concern, here. To get new members and more women, they need to feel safe here. I am an adult, I don’t mind some sexual talk, as long as it is not degrading and hurtful, to anyone. And as long as I know the thread has content of a sexual nature, I wouldn’t mind. I don’t think anyone would. Come on, guys.
Done. But in a more general way.
Do you believe your initial reception here had anything to do with you being a woman? For myself, I don’t.
On the other hand, I think you’re right that it’s too easy for new posters here to get off on the wrong foot and be treated badly as a result. That cultural behavior seems to me to both contribute to and stem directly from that troll thread. But that’s surely a topic for a different pit discussion.
Asking which one is better at math isn’t. Asking which one has a hotter body is.
Nothing wrong with saying Ginger is hotter. It’s very close though. I see why that could get heated.
