Lady Gabber

pat_in_the_hatsooo guys have a "look but dont touch" rule?

BWalmerIf what Bishop said is correct, only pink names can access it like only donators can access the donators forum.

Mr.BishopNope, we left the viewing open just the posting restricted.

unknowndeathLady Gabber is hurt as fuck.

I have mad shit to say about being down with women and all of it I mean wholeheartedly.

I want to start a thread about all-chick bands (or predominantly female, or female fronted ones), who I think are just about the coolest thing in music. I can't do that because I have a dick.

Where is this coming from? Is this some sort of reaction to Krotch's quasi-controversial hot-topic thread? Or has this been cooking for a long time?

A real feminist would know that dudes can be down for the cause too, and they don't have to sit on the sidelines and watch.

Newschoolers is whack. But I've known that for some time now.

brotoMake a thread in nsg..

unknowndeaththat's not where it belongs dawg. it's gabber about ladies.

brotoNo, it's obviously a place for the ladies to gabber...

unknowndeathEither way, it's a double standard. If you want to have some sort of haven like that for women to talk about women (which is fucked up that there has to be such a place anyway), you should be allowed to post there as a guy if you want to participate and contribute to the discussion. If you don't want to play nice, there should be some heavy bans passed down.

To be totally honest though, it sort of seems like a cop out. Instead of outlawing sexist behavior and speech and enforcing it strictly, you've really just removed the girls from the guy zone and moved them somewhere else. I mean really, what you're saying to every woman on this site is:

"Look ladies, all these forums, the ones with actual topics? They're for the big dogs. The ones with big dog balls. You little things with your pink names might be offended by some of the things us masculine dudes vomit up in these forums. But it's ok. You can hang out over here, in your nice little girly hang-out. It's all girls there."

I mean it's great, but at the same time, what is it really saying? There are still some pretty powerful sexist undertones.

Shit, I don't even really care. Maybe I'm just bummed I couldn't make my chick-band thread somewhere I'd get support for it instead of getting told to stop being such a feminist bitch by a bunch of misogynistic dudes. Maybe I just don't like feeling excluded. Maybe I'm just writing this steam of consciousness and none of it makes any sense.

Carry on.

brotoYou sound like a bitch

give.emthebirdI think he makes some very valid points, actually...

brotoYou sound like a bitch

El_Barto.Men produce estrogens too. Youre forum description leadse to believe I am welcome when in fact I not.

Can the forum description be changed so it reads "where vaginas reside"?

Then it will make more sense to men when we arent allowed in

unknowndeathEither way, it's a double standard.

brotoBut no one is actually removing the girls from the "guy zone" and forcing them to post in lady gabber... they can still post in the normal forums...

It just sounds like whining to me because he can't post in lady gabber. Maybe that's not the case.

The referenced post has been removed.

MinggLady Gabber is awesome. I don't think it's really meant to separate us. We can still post in any other forums but it's like an extra forum just for us. There's so few active girls on here so It's cool that we can all get together and have our own forum. Also, how pointless would it be to make a thread regarding something chick related just for a bunch of guys to post in and most likely derail and make a joke out of? Guys basically run nsg, lets be honest.

zzzskizzzI just find it really weird that we can view it but not post in it. I think they should let the girls completely run it and not let us be able to look at it at all. because otherwise you guys still have to censor what you say, like a bunch you girls posted up your social media names now anyone on newschoolers can follow you.

El_Barto.There is no censor-free zone. Rednames came into the EBI cult and banned Hugo for something he said in what we thought was supposed to be private.

J.D.Because she's a girl... and also a mod...

Jaggy_SnakeBad idea in my opinion.

IF a pink name started a thread or posted in a thread bitching/whining about a guy/blue name, said guy/blue name will most likely start a thread in SD or even NSG complaining about the pink name.

I can't see the guy/blue name contacting said pink name or even a mod/admin about it, dealing with it that way...

ERICA.MNIf you have a problem with a specific member you should either take it up with them or talk to a mod.

immasThere's pinknames talking who I've NEVER seen be active before. I'm stoked this happened.

unknowndeathThat's awesome! I'm really glad on the effect it's having for girls on the site, and I'm glad that girls are stoked on it.

However, I will stick by the fact that it's sort of just covering up a wound instead of actually healing it. There are tons of issues with lady gabber.

I think it reflects really poorly on the community that we do have to create a separate space for girls to feel safe and comfortable speaking, and in turn, I think it represents why there aren't more girls in skiing.

I suggest people read this: http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2014/10/02/are-skateboarders-that-much-different-than-jocks/

And lets be real – making a girls forum on newchoolers is not going to bring more girls to actual skiing.

It's a big problem, this is the kind of stuff I would want to talk about in "lady gabber" if I were allowed....

But I don't really care about whether or not dudes can post in the forum anymore. Girls are cool, and even in this day and age are discriminated against in tons of ways, in a lot of places.

I'm just spewing opinions at this point. Not even really related to lady gabber. Whatever. Hopefully somebody reads this and begins to understand it.

zzzskizzzobviously it's going to be moderated, but I don't see the point of allowing guys to creep and see what they say.

Mr.BishopI'd like to add an update... looks like this forum is really gaining some rapid traction.

immasWhat kinda update?

Mr.BishopSo all the haters can basically just STFU - cause the girls are killing it.

MinggCan I sig this or would that be lame?

Bart.ManPrepare for an influx of pinkname aliases
