TFP women don't like politics?
Hi ladies, me again...
I know we already talked about this a while ago (at least, one aspect of it). But it's come to my attention again, while browsing through the Politics and 2008 Election forums, that there is a serious dearth of female voices in those areas. It bothers me.
I don't know what to do about it, or if anything can be done. I KNOW y'all have opinions, strong ones, on politics... but why don't you want to discuss them in the same way that we discuss other things on TFP? I want to hear those voices, to know what you have to say about these important ideas. We used to have some hard-core female opinions in Politics. What happened to them?
Should we have parallel threads on every political topic in the Ladies' Lounge? I know we tried that earlier in the campaign, and some of you took to posting there... and that was really encouraging. But at the same time, we don't want to have simultaneous threads on every political topic, running in two forums. Is there a way that we can we merge all this, somehow? Or are there just never going to be any other women posting in the politics forum?
Insight from you ladies?
