poochy Posted March 18, 2015 Report Posted March 18, 2015 No, that's not what I was asking. Good grief. Are you using words that you don't understand? You want more women, having them join by finding the forum like everyone else, through their own desire to find a politics forum like the rest of us, and we are all equally capable, isn't enough for you. Creating other conditions that are a greater attractant to women, is, by definition, artificial. It is a politics forum, where, people talk about politics, people join for that reason, you want to create new reasons for people to join who otherwise wouldn't. You are trying to solve a 'problem' that does not exist. Quote

If you were to provide a logical argument then perhaps I would respond. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch.

Boges Posted March 19, 2015 Report Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) So if there is a Women's Sub Category and no one uses it, does that make us all even more sexist? I do find the sub forums don't meet all the potential categories one might want to start a thread about. I find the "political philosophy" sub forum as the "Other" group for things that don't fit into a specific political or pop culture sub forum. Edited March 19, 2015 by Boges Quote
Ash74 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Have you all seen the rush for the woman's sub category. You are all sexist for not taking part. Or forcing women to take part. Quote “Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains.”― Winston S. Churchill There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him. –Robert Heinlein

Unless it's women's niqab wearing, then it's all fake outrage at the 'subjugation' of women. :/ . Quote

poochy Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Yep, of course that's what it is, anyway, attempting to shut down the discussion with the same old nonsense isn't surprising to any of us. I know it isn't fashionable to say this, you can call yourself any damned thing you like but it means nothing if you can't defend yourself with reason. in other words, if you hold stupid opinions, you mght jsut be stupid. Of course this subject only came up because one poster demanded more women, while never once explaining why their weren't already exactly the number of women that there should be, as decided by, women Apparently the absolute freedom that women have to find and sign up to this forum isn't enough, while at the same time that freedom is somehow comparable to a culture that convinces them that covering their faces is necessary. What a joke. Quote

Argus Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 There's a lot of animosity toward 'women's' issues here ... What's a womens issue? No one has yet been able to articulate what that ought to be other than "why we hate men", or maybe "best lesbian bars".

Argus Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) I don't think that Argus' comment is productive at all. Why? It made a point. What kind of issues? In all this whining nobody has actually come up with any sort of list of issues which would be specifically "WOMENS ISSUES", and ONLY women's issues. There are a bunch of very sexist lefties here demanding a womens issues section but they have no ideas of what would be discussed there.

cybercoma Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) A bunch of sexist lefties demanding it, eh? There's one person who made the recommendation and a couple who said it wouldn't be a bad idea. Look at the sexist lefties demanding it. You need to make yourself a coffee and grab some perspective.

poochy Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 http://news.nationalpost.com/2015/03/27/rex-murphy-the-modern-university-risks-becoming-a-cocoon-of-self-indulgence-and-anti-intellectualism/ That is a bit of a broad topic for this discussion, but it does relate at least in way some of the people on this forum think. 'Give us more women!' Why? 'Just Cuz!' But thats not a reason..women can find a forum, just like men. 'Don't question us, you're a bigot, etc.' The same anti reason arguments from the same people over and over, you question them and they go back to the same well, over and over, never can they defend thier pov with reasoned arguments, just like in our universities, you dare not question the progressive present or future, there can never be enough of it. Frankly i couldn't care less if there were any number of women's categories here, or if somehow more women were artificially attracted to the forum, but the idea that it somehow must, or should be done, is just nonsense. Equal in every possible way, except when it comes to joining a politics forum, that we need to 'help' with, i can open my own doors, but i need help being convinced to join a politics forum. It's all so silly. Truthfully though, if the people who need convinving of how ridiculous that is could be convinced they probably wouldn't hold that opinion in the first place. Quote
