Why are all the TRF ladies keeping such a LOW profile?

[JJ Irani]

Hello all you lovely ladies.....

What's up? Haven't seen much of you lately!!

Ashley hardly posts, sweet Caroline is rarely on, Karis does poke her pretty head in some times, Mireyna's there on a few occasions, Nancy's wit is being missed and dear Lisa seems to have vanished. Jen and Faith are on, which is good......but I certainly miss all my lovely friends.

What's up with Bubba? Vacation or a Mod directed "timeout" or something? He's been scarce lately.

Joe's been away with work.

The ladies are just taking a break I think.

But Cleavage Boy,

The women know that they've been defeated. You raised the bar too high, no one can compete against your sheep, so they've gone out to pasture.

(too much)

[JJ Irani]

All I have to add to this thread is I sincerely love and respect all the ladies I've mentioned in my first post. Most of them I've spoken with over SKYPE and enjoyed their banter.

To all the ladies on TRF - you can be rest assured that you will be treated with the utmost respect that you so richly deserve. Yes, I know we males do tend to go overboard at times with some silly pics of cleavages, boobs and bottoms.......but, rest assured, nothing personal is ever intended.

Most of us are family people with loved ones of our own. This is an international forum, but the ladies WILL be respected come what may.....and you lovely girls can take that to the bank.

Best wishes to all of you - JJ

NUTS!! See what I mean, ladies......then you've got tossers like Jocke who come along with comments as crazy as above!!!

They keep a low profile here for the same reason they do in other male-dominated forums... the knuckle-draggers that crawl out from under their rocks to make some sophomoric remark about their bodies or sex.

Sorry, but this is one of my hot-button issues.

You said it Woody! I have heard from several other female members who agree with me regarding some of the recent inappropriate posts/threads.

We gals all have a sense of humor to a degree, but we also EXPECT that respect and decency remain the undertone of the forum and ALL threads. It's unforunate that some male posters don't....

Sorry but I can't agree with this.

I have a pretty good relationship with many of the long term female mebers here, in fact I speak to most of them via email or pm on nearly a daily basis.

I would think that the women members mentioned would disagree with the implications of sexism and knuckledragging. There will always be a minority who bring these issues up (as some do guns, politics, religion etc) and they are usually duly slapped down by the very efficient mod team or administrators.

I would say that for as long as I've known the more prominant female posters here, any issues regrding sexism would have been bought up and discussed by them, not ignored whilst they go into hiding.

Trust me, the ladies JJ mentions are fine and well and taking a break...they have busy lives and families as we pretty much all do!

I do too Jim, and I'm just verbalizing what some of the ladies told me in confidence. In all honesty, some of the sexist posts have put me off as well. We're certainly all entitled to our opinions and it's expected that we see things differently.

I do agree with you Karis that you should expect decency and I'm sorry that in today's day and age, some guys still post with sexist content which offends you and the other female members here.

I was just trying to say that as a whole the forum is pretty decent and the mods usually do a great job in tidying up. In the instances when they might not be quick enough, there is usually a core of "gentlemen" members who might fire off a pm recommending the bad behaviour is toned down.

In the cases I've seen, a few of the ladies are quite forthcoming also with their disapproval and rightly so IMHO, that's why I think the lack of posts isn't really an issue with what has been mentioned!

Things go on behind the scenes.

Forums evolve.

Members come and go.

It could be anything...what is important is that those mentioned are all well and safe!

I would have to disagree with you on this matter since I also communicate with some of the female members here outside of this forum. Sexism and the general acceptance of it has left a negative mark on some of the members here. This forum is pretty much a boy's club. You may ask why it hasn't been brought up then? The fact that it has, but it hasn't been given the appropriate attention that it deserves. Some members feel that they are targeted for being outspoken. And unfortunately the issue goes up beyond the general membership.

There is a lot going on behind the scenes that most of us are not aware of. And it's not always for the better.

It would be a shame if people were made to feel uncomfortable here because of a few insensitive comments. I'm relatively new here, but I have already read a couple of cringe worthy comments.
Hopefully folks will be more thoughtful moving forward.

I'm surprised people ignore the constant insinuation of sexual acts with animals and talk of cleavage, with participation by moderators too.

And that is exactly the expectation you SHOULD have - and enjoy. I must remind all members that the general rules for members, located here;

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=8936

should be read, even if you are an old hand here on TRF. I believe that the issue being discussed here is covered in the very first rule in that thread.

The Moderation Team thanks you for adhering to these rules, thus providing an enjoyable experience for ALL TRF members.
