Lack of Female Representation

I'm sure there are a number of reasons. For my money, I don't think women like to collect things as much as men do. What's the first thing your wife says when you bring something home? "Where are you going to put that?"

ghasley,
Read my post and spare me the emotion based diatribes. Never in any of my responses have I said anything about unequal treatment and never have I called for a return to more traditional roles for women. Never have I demeaned, insulted or implied any lack of worth. I just simply refuse to go along with the tired narrative of the gentle/caring ones. 

May I remind you that women's movements for years having only sought equal, not special, treatment. But I thank you for your civility and for actually responding to  content instead if just making a terse and predictable comment like the one from our resident sage djones. What other than a refusal to treat with deference do you find in my posts that you find objectionable? 

@ghasley Keep your responsibility to yourself, stop forcing what you think the world should be onto others. Other people are not participants in your crazy religion, so try to keep the cultiness in check when you are in public. This constant preaching and preening is nauseating....
You are not owed anything by any of us... whenever I hear grown men preach about women’s history/ Gender Studies etc, I instantly think Rapist/Molester.
I have seen many a men who advertise their virtues, scream at the top of their lungs, and then victimize the women they profess to defend.

@yuviarora

Setting aside that @ghasley obviously wouldn't be able to "force" his views on anyone even if that were his intent (it isn't), your reaction to his posts is wildly over-the-top.

reveals far more about you than your intended target, and in a decidedly unflattering light.

It is absolutely ludicrous to suggest that a member who is displaying sensitivity to a minority (women, in this instance) is somehow likely to be abusive them in real life.

Given the cantancerous and occasionally bigotted back and forth on this thread I think a moderator would do us a big favour by just shutting it down
