The best way to help our gender challenged hobby is from the inside. Sorry but if I were to pick a female dominated hobby, I wouldnt expect them to change anything to accommodate me. In fact, if they did I would it very offensive. But I like discourse, a bit of chaos and a good fight. I am sure that women participate in locker room talk and might (GASP) say something that might insult me as a man. I would expect a few of the veterans in the group to talk down to me or look past me from time to time. I wouldnt automatically assume it was because I was a man. Why not concentrate on the welcoming majority instead of fixating on what you have been told you should expect from a bunch of men.
Nonoise, so should be expect congressional hearings to only be populated by those who are most directly affected? You will get just a diverse response from a bunch of random women on womens rights as you would from a panel of men from different social and economic backgrounds. But I am sure that all women have the same view on abortion just as an example. How about 1 token man in this hearing?Gender and racial experience is not universal, nor is the way experiences are perceived. Sounds good if you dont give it much thought.
