I think the womens forum disappeared before everything got restructured (though I can’t entirely recall). Can we please have a womens category?
I’m not shy and don’t mind starting a womens general thread / specific stuff here or the tri forum (as appropriate), but I think some other women might be.
Please sign my petition male signatures welcome too, obviously. I can’t imagine all of you want my whining about feeling irrationally angry and also wanting to cry from hormones front and center…
@Rick_pcfl@BCtriguy1 I’m cranky and angry enough without you three clearly indicating whether you’re signing my clipboard thankyouvery much. Can you just write your names so I can go knock on other doors please?
Thank you for your cooperation. While I’m at it, have you heard about the good news of our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ? My [identically-dressed] good twin and I would like to invite you to our church service Sunday. Here’s a pamphlet! Hope to see you there.
I’m scared not to now. I guess I better sign my name too.
You should be. As I said, I’m not in a great mood right now. Also, as far as you know, I could be a CIA agent and the college prof thing is just a cover, so going along is probably a good idea.
In all seriousness, I thought it was a bummer when the women’s forum went away. I lurked in there occasionally, and the handful of times I posted, I got some good, no-bullshit advice on how to better interact with my wife, and it was a rare place where I could reflect on some disordered eating habits from my youth without getting mocked. IMO, there’s value in that kind of sub-forum around this joint.
I think there’s value in a separate forum AND having stuff here. For instance, I got ideas on the night sweats thread from the mens that I appreciated. I don’t think I would have had as many responses from the mens if I had posted that in a sub-forum. On the other hand, a womens forum is also a less-mocking space.
If we don’t get a Tibbs’ Pink Room for the Womens, I’ll try to remember to put a “THIS IS A NO MOCKING ALLOWED” warning on Womens threads (and I have no doubt the mods would be happy to reinforce that).
PM me any time about disordered eating stuff if needed (you AND others). Always happy to be supportive there.
when the womens forum disappeared and we had a thread of Where Is the Womens Forum in the Other Forum, I remember @devashish_paul telling me “you are more than welcome to put anything you would have put in the womens here on the Main Forum” and that made me feel really good. (I’m fairly sure Dev is actually in charge over there, with @Paulo_Sousa and @smartasscoach behind the scenes).
male signatures welcome too, obviously. I can’t imagine all of you want my whining about feeling irrationally angry and also wanting to cry from hormones front and center…
