Hi Leigh,
Nice post. You wrote:
"However, in order for this board to continue on in traditional fashion where girls grow strong, it would be nice if the guys could hang back for awhile. I don't mean for really long periods of time though. Just long enough so that the girls develop a very healthy thread, and then the guys are free to interject."
Nothing currently prohibits this. My former submissive could type posts as quickly as her active mind and 75 WPM could carry her. She posted with a furious pace.
In this forum, a woman can post as often and as intently as any man can. I see no need for the guys to "hang back." Women here are free to agree, disagree, credit, disprove, cajole, argue, ignore, focus, defend, attack, lavish and withhold as much as any man here is. The Web recognizes no gender.
I see your point, but that slippery slope always starts at an acute angle. May the blessings of your foremothers, who fought for equality, ring true here! More than anything else, they wanted to be treated as one would be with an invisible gender: truly equal. Unfortunately, one cannot do that by "hanging back" to let the ladies go by. Chivalry is a courtesy; entitlements are a discourtesy.
