What's the problem in hiving off a little section for the girls? It is divisive.What happened to equal rights?

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, excl³usivity etc. How do you decide membership? What about mumsnet? Seems odd to me. I do not see why woman if they want to talk woman things should not have there own section. Going by your thinking there is no need for more than one French forum.

Ultimately the membership will decide whether my caution is taken into account or not.

Blimey, so much male hot air about a simple request/idea. Like a fart in a breeze.........

Unbelievable! 3 pages so far and not many women come on here - yet there’s nothing to stop any men who want to read whatever women choose to write, AFAIK.

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. I've only read 2 pages, so apologies if I missed something important. I don't like the idea and never have liked forums that generate separatist or cliquey 'sections', whether it's regions, gender or anything else. You write that the guys won't be interested in girls chat, mangetout, but if there's one sure way of creating a sad, voyeuristic interest amongst certain male members of a forum, it's to create such an area. And if the guys decide that we're not interested in DIY, cars or renovation....are they supposed to ask for a separate section too?

You can never please everyone on a forum personally I do not see anything wrong with a section for the females to discuss female issues. The last thing you want to do is lose more members who may have gone elsewhere to chit chat in private section

All that is needed is a forum subject sub-heading with a simple title. Anyone can view and make contributions. There should be no qualifying conditions. +1

Thing is, there’s certain windbags guys on here who like to take over and dominate threads so I’m pretty sure if that is allowed they would dominate the womens section too….
