Men's Only Forum?
 

I suggested this a year or two ago, and it got shot down.

But I think it's worth considering.

The women have a women's only forum where they can talk frankly about female specific issues without harassment etc. from us guys.

I think we should have a men's only room. We can talk about concerns with our junk, our numbnuts, maybe even rate the podium girls, tell some off-color cycling related jokes and basically be just guys.

We can call it "The Locker Room."

I am not suggesting this is a place for woman-bashing and any truly misogynistic postings would not be tolerated.

Oh yeah, ****.

But seriously, think about it.

Do you like gladiator movies?

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

Nah...there's a reason why it got shot down.

Yeah, it's called Bike Forum

The Locker Room sounds gay bar name. Not that there is any thing wrong with that. I just don't see it happening. Why would I want to go to a guy only forum? I want to get in the women only forum though for sure :thumb:

Look we can call it anything we want.

I actually want MORE women in the 41, but comments about junk and liz hatch's saddle etc. are not helping.

This would be a "safe" place to contain these types of discussions.

I think it makes sense but WTF do I know?

Be careful what you ask for....you want to discuss the pro's and con's of tampons vs. pads???

The Blue Oyster.

Agree for males it's called bike forums, and roadbikereview forum, and serotta forum, and ,,, all of them are probably 99% male. I suspect the request for a women's only forum is so they don't have to screen every post for something more related to their needs. On the other hand they could just go to the forums at Terry.

The awesomeness of this post is not lost on me.

Ah I see what you are saying. I don't hang out in the road forum much anymore has it really denigrated to that?

At times, yes. There are some rare jewels in here but lots of junk about "junk" of late.

of late? :lol:

Yeah I know it's always here.

:roflmao2:

I don't follow sports much and this post was the first I've heard of Liz Hatch. Thanks!

Are we scaring off that many women?

Not many but we want to keep the few we have.

Jen, for example, is not leaving but to be candid if I were a newbie female cyclist in here I might be offended by some of the postings and look elsewhere.

if we have a men only forum, i could post all my pent up porn frustration.




bike porn. what were you thinking?

Good, I need another gender-specifc forum to be banned from.

I could have done without all the fuss about my fit picture posted in addiction. Not enough to black triangle anything, but you know.

You can follow her on twitter ;) She's very cool!

we have pillow fights too.
