I find the request extremely sexist and an offence to the LGBTQ+ community! I'm surprised at you. You're better than that.

What's the problem in hiving off a little section for the girls?

What's the problem in hiving off a little section for the girls? Absolutely nothing. But it might upset the patriarchy?

Though I expect nothing better from FU2, I am disappointed that mangetout should have taken such umbridge to my post which essentially meant ‘ In this day an age can one have an exclusive zone for any sex, as there are are so many, apparently?’ Pashapapa’s post proves the point. Of course mt your personal experience is tragic and terribly sad and seems so shocking nowadays, but one hopes we have evolved.
Should forums have sub sections open only by approval and passwords and hence subject to secrecy, exclusivity etc. How do you decide membership? What about mumsnet? Seems odd to me.

What's the problem in hiving off a little section for the girls? Theoretically nothing .. a new Section could be created I am sure - beyond my powers but I know a man who can. The snag as I see it is anyone who is registered on the Forum can read any post. Only those who are logged in can post .. So, if you are happy for anyone and everyone to be able to read the posts in the new Section then there is no problem. I need to check on the status of Guests ..

If that's what your post meant why didn't you express it that way. And yes, you can have zones which cater to different sexes. There aren't many men who would deny that our anatomy and mentality is different, we tend to chat about different things in a different way, and yes there are some biological men who feel more comfortable being one of us. If you want me to define what a girl is, I can't. But you know if you are one.

Another forum which some of us are aware of suggested a similar space be created just 30 mins after I suggested it here. Unlike this forum, they have a space up and running already. Why do a few trouble makers spoil it for everyone else. What's the motivation. What have you got go lose.

What would you like it called mangetout ? Whatever you like as long as it's obvious. But only if there are enough girls on here who want it. It's not for me, it's for all of us girls. To help and encourage each other, to have a laugh, to offer practical advice.

Oh for gods sake how on earth can a woman related issues section cause such consternation for some men on here? Is your masculinity really that fragile that you feel the need to dominate and control things on a bloomin’ forum of all things. Get a grip for goodness sake, and give your heads a wobble. it’s like all those men who complain about international women’s day 🙄🙄🙄
