Right. I'm not going to engage in this ridiculous conversation with you.

If there is no where better, why aren't they here? I'm pretty sure plenty of women are interested in politics, don't be so condescending.

Being gay is normal. The fact you think it isn't normal is the problem with our society.

Honestly, we don't want to take you guys out, nor do we want to cut your balls off. I just want more women contributing to this forum.

Hence, the need for main categories.

WTF. Talk about putting words in another member's mouth.

I don't get it either. I think bald men are very sexy.

Well, good for you to recognize their rights and equality. But both of your statements negates each other. Can you imagine the feelings the LGBT community feel when they hear someone say they aren't normal. Do you have any idea of what you are proseltytizing? I would imagine your beliefs would change when and if you have a gay son or daughter.

I really don't like these sub headings for women. I would prefer to see main categories for women.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Can you elaborate? And did I mention 'women's issues'. No, I didn't. I mentioned 'women in politics' and 'women in science and technology'. Men don't have to contribute to these categories if they won't want to. No one is forcing anyone to contribute. The idea is to attract more women for other women like us can converse with them. Do you get it?

Right, so let's discriminate against the LGBT community (who, by the way are just as normal and human as you and I) based on fairy tales.

Ewww. Gross!

I honestly don't understand the abhorrence that has been displayed towards suggestions for categories such as: Women in Politics or Women in Science and Technologies Surely, the men here can understand the unique challenges that women face in these industries and many others. Let's say that these categories attract more women to this forum. Is that a bad thing or good thing? I would suggest it is a good thing. We have categories of 'Religion' which is certainly a minority of Canadians, whereas women make up at least 50% of the Canadian population. Shouldn't the categories here reflect the population of Canada? Doing what we can to encourage women to join this forum is certainly not silly. Now, I expect some of the men here will come back with 'start a topic in the regular categories'. Well, I did that and did anyone notice the responses? They were clearly sexist and did not contribute at all to the topic being raised. We have 2 women actively posting here, Jaycee and Kimmy. BC Chick from time to time. And all of them contribute valuable content to this forum and this forum would decline without their contributions. I just wish that BC Chick would contribute more and I would ask that she post her reasons why she doesn't contribute more. Perhaps we can learn from her answers. If we can attract more women to this forum to discuss 'women in politics' or 'women in science and technology' is that a bad thing. And it is clearly not forcing women to contribute through artificial means. It is attracting women through web content, nothing else. There is nothing sinister going on here with my suggestion. I am not suggesting we cut off the balls of the men here. I'm not suggesting that women get a list of lesbian bars or a thread that discusses why women hate men. Honestly, it's pretty innocent with no sinister thoughts towards men.

Actually, you provided nothing to this debate that allows me to respond to.

I started to respond to this and then thought 'why bother'. You are not worth my time. If you were to provide a logical argument then perhaps I would respond.

BS. You actually believe what you posted.

Changing the national debate? What are you talking about? You don't even grasp what this thread is about.

Then don't concern yourself.

Right. You completely ignored the accomplishments I have quoted. Not sure what agenda you are after.

I almost let this slip by. I'm not paying attention! So, you are saying that women being abused is all their fault? Because they are annoying some male person? Perhaps they are not annoying the men. Perhaps the men are just criminals.

Do you honestly think these are the only issues women face? And why are we debating this? Because we are so far behind in addressing these issues. Have you read or done any research on issues affecting women?

No they don't. If you had read the accomplishments of the women I mentioned earlier, you can see that being tough/aggressive is not a prerequisite to being a successful politician looking for solutions through peacekeeping.

I can understand this comment coming from Boges but I was surprised with the response from MG.

Let's elect more women around the world and see what happens.

I said, 'just imagine if these women had power'! Think of the results. I don't understand your arguments.
