Men's Lounge? - Page 3 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Strange Famous · 01-04-2009, 05:26 AM

I remember once being invited into a game of strip poker, and then to my horror finding that all of the people playing were male (and as far as I know - heterosexual)... but anyway, I personally dont feel the need to have a "men only" forum, and I also dont personally see the value if the "women only" forum, but I dont object to it and it doesnt bother me in any way.

I completely agree with the OP. Ever since I got here I thought a Men's lounge would be a good idea. I'm a female, btw. Sure, the rest of the board or the internet might be mostly male, and we totally talk about boobs and dick size, but it would be nice for guys to have a safe space to talk to guys about guy stuff without having to worry about being called down or judged by women for their fears, or thoughts or whatever. I'd support a Men's Lounge. Full fourced.

A Men Lounge would be appropriate and fair.

The whole site, with exception of the LL, is a mens lounge.

Why do you feel it's needed? Is there something that you don't want female input on?

I read this for the first time. It is so surreal that it needs to be put in a sitcom, or a movie, or something. Just share it already. I couldn't help grinning at what the scene must have looked like, complete with closeups of SF's face, and perhaps choice bits of dialogue as 2 completely incompatible world views collided.

As for the Men's Lounge idea - if I want that kind of thing I'll go sit on the porch with the dog while holding a drink in my hand. Manly enough for me.

No - now you are just messing with me. Swear on everything I own that I've already read this [near-]exact quote 2-3 years ago in this very same discussion.

(yes. I'm looking back on the entire thread to try and find the most similar: I was banking on Cynthetiq, The_Jazz, MSD or B_G stating it so succinctly, back in 2008 or so I'm half-remembering it.)

I used to wish the Ladies lounge had some highlight to it or perhaps a secret handshake for entry. I've wandered in there more then once by accident and posted. I've learned, I hope. I still find myself reading a title of a new thread in there and think "that looks interesting" and end up in there, but lately I've caught myself and left.

+ bonus

Women are the minority gender on TFP. Some of the best, most wonderful people on TFP are women, but they are not in the majority. They need a room to talk in. They need a club. It's a matter of evening things out a bit. I say kudos to them, and I hope they all enjoy the lounge.
