I've always had this question:

With sooo many nonsensical user names, like say, "SecretMethod70" that do not denote gender, how will you know if a male posts in the LL?

I believe we are completely dependant on user honesty here. Of course, it would take a man attempting to think like a woman to make his posts non-obviously male. Since no man is capable of thinking like a woman, they'd get blown out of the water quickly. (take that whichever way <i>your</i> insecurities lead you)

In short, I've always thought of the LL this way:

It's where the ladies go to act like pigs, I mean men.

They have some meaningful discussion; they also overgeneralize, stereotype, etc. but it's all in fun, so it's okay for them to do it.

To la femme fatales' credit, there has been a lot less of that for the past few months.

Vive la femmes!

*edit*

That freaked me out! I was looking at my user cp and I thought I'd posted in the LL!

I was all ready to have JadZ kick my ass!
