Do any women read this forum??? ie. Are you male or female?

Postby Lifer » Sun 18 May 2008, 21:24:55

Looking at all the member photos, it occurs to me, that a great majority of site members are male. (perhaps all?) So I'm curious - what percentage of members are female vs. male.

Or maybe it's that females are more self-conscious about their image and/or concerned about possible stalkers/wierdos.

Female, obviously. I've learned my lesson about posting my picture. There are a lot of creeps/perverts on the internets 8O

It's about 95% male, but the 5% who are female are absolutely essential and much appreciated.

A lot of women won't admit when they are because people talk to them like real people when they don't know their gender. But the minute they do know, they are treated differently. Their oppinions are discounted or not credited as much. So why should anyone admit to it?

Any questions... just see the above.

Lifer, I see you haven't posted a lot -- but maybe you have been around, lurking. Maybe the threads you have been on haven't had many female participants.

Can't go by the member photos posted ... there aren't that many posted anyway.

I would guess Tex is close to right -- around 90-95% of the actively posting members are male. But we females, albeit clearly in the minority, can be quite vocal here.

Thank you, Tex, for expressing your appreciation for us. Not everyone here feels that way, though! ;-)

Gosh, really? I thought that about 1/2 of the workforce was female -- I didn't realize that 1/2 workers were either nurses or Montessori workers.

Schaden - this was one of your ... how shall I put this ... stupidest ... yeah, that's it ... this was one of your stupidest posts.

Obvously I'm female...I'm a mom of 2!
My husband is coming on board with these ideas. But for now, and in the future around my house, I am "The Queen of Doom"...my older daughter was even going to make me a special crown to wear for the day...complete with drawings of tornados, empty gas staions, empty wells, etc...she didn't however! But they all like the garden, the full pantry (overstocked, probably), the new fireplace insert, the smell of sheets dried outdoors, etc...which I likely never would have considered before learning about PO.

I guess you wouldn't know what sarcasm was even if it's a 12 foot high flashing neon sign.......sheeeesh

Anyways 51% of the people on this planet are female so it's actually men who are the minority. In all my life with the exception of perhaps a men's locker room or bathroom it is very very very rare to go ANYWHERE on this planet that did not have women.

women are everywhere.
sorry gal I hate to disappoint you but you're NOT an exotic fruit contrary to what you may believe!
I think we need to get rid of this stereotype that 90% of the people on the interent are male.
That is not true.
