A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

@ Tristan

Hey, there,

Apologies for addressing you here instead of in your own thread, but I know you lurk so here goes.

Have you noticed that your thread seems to have a general lack of female voices in it? Watching your thread for awhile, it seems that when the women contribute, they often (not always) get the rough side of someone else's tongue. After a few go-rounds of that, they stop posting, though I'd bet they still read. Please don't take it personally because you're not the one doing it.

Here's my point: If your thread dwindles down to only two or three voices, you may be getting unintentional tunnel vision in terms of advice, insights, POVs, etc. If everything is working for you, that's absolutely fine and dandy. But in particular, if you want a female's POV, you'll probably need to go out of your way to get one as your thread (not *you*, your thread) doesn't seem to be a friendly place for a woman to express herself.

Tuck that in the back of your head somewhere and feel free to ask here if you ever need me.

Cheers,

Dia
