This is what I posted on the main forum in response to jenanddarol:

"I agree that there should not be exlusionary rules, etc. regarding women. But, let's not put the FF in the same category as 'The Augusta National.'

The fact of the matter is that women have the ability to post on the father's forum. OK? So, if you would like to post, there's no block by the webmaster. As long as you know that some guys will offer their views, some of which may be non-welcoming, but you have the choice of ignoring them.

From a guy's perspective, it gets really old having to be so sensitive and politically correct on the main forum. The FF is a nice refuge. Men are from Mars ...

Yes, the main forum doesn't say "women only", but in a lot of ways it is gender-based. And guys will be eaten alive if they complain about certain issues. But just like women can visit the FF and choose to ignore "mean" men, we can do the same in the Main Forum.

Can't we all just get along?

Mike."
