I'm the only female here and have been for a long time.
When I joined in 2002 and for a while there were lots of women. Grounded in the Bible and wonderfully versed and good, fine Christians. They ain't been here in a very long time.
Have ya'll ever wondered why? Probably not.
I have a lot to say, but I'll just narrow it down to this. It's not what you guys say, well sometimes it IS!, but generally it's HOW you say it. The disdain and notions that you as males are superior in every way just oozes from your words sometimes.
Here's my counsel. Take it to the Men's Private Forum.
I'm about to tell you all something that I was going to take to my grave.
Although I consider myself not a moderator anymore, because no one left here can erase my moderator powers, I still have them.
Moderators can go into any forum they choose. I have always avoided the Men's Private Forum. When I click on a new thread to read, I never look at what forum I am in. It just never occurs to me. A month ago or there abouts, I clicked on a new thread and I saw running gags about women. You know....how dumb we are, how bossy we are. Then I realized I was in the Men's only forum.
It surprised me. It shouldn't have. Anyway....if you have an ax to grind about women, take it there.
I am the only woman left here. I'd like to stay. I've tried other Christian forums, but many allow too many progressives and others have far too many people who don't have a CLUE what they are talking about. And there are some here, but not as many as elsewhere.
Or, at least be more descriptive in your thread titles and give me a heads up and I won't read.
