Further reason love this forum

RE: Further reason love this forum
If they wanted a lesbians only forum, why frequent one that wasn't, overall? Why not go to one that is lesbian oriented in the first place?
And still, take this forum. It's called atheistforums.org, yet you're asked what "religious views" you have. Quite a lot of atheists, I reckon, just like me, were quite confused when confronted with that while registering but then when you see that everyone is allowed and encouraged to post it makes sense, of course. Here we have a classic case of a majority making way for minorities, and it's maybe because we're such opressed people in some parts of the world - actually I think that's exactly why. I mean, an atheist joining a site called atheistforums.org wouldn't have to be asked about his religious views, he's an atheist, right? But there you go. God people have access too, as they should in a sense.

If it's a private forum you want, where only certain people are allowed, you would have trouble confirming everyone to be authentic and such...

It's up to them how they run their forum, I guess. From what you say, I don't think it's a good set up.

I think they would do better to have a "Lesbian section" rather than a "Lesbians only section". Since it can only ever be a request as to who posts where, a more liberal approach is more likely to create the desired result in my opinion. Clearly no one can ever prove they are or aren't a lesbian on a forum. Or in fact, at all (barring drastic testing perhaps).

It certainly doesn't sound as hip and free as they would like it to be.

Kitan should have just said he chooses to 'identify' as a lesbian, even if he's a gay male. It would certainly be in theme with the bullshit hipster persona they have going on over there, and be even more amusing if they were to ban him after saying it.

Good point. In a way, they are actually discriminating against anyone who explicitly states their gender. Unless it is mandatory there, I dunno.

You wouldn't catch me dead on a forum called "hipforums"...

They let straight women that have had sexual encounters with other women comment there.
Why not straight men that have had sexual encounters with other women? Tongue

If you ask me,i don't think it's a matter of sexuality.Just a group of women pushing men around.
