    I am not getting the point.

    Me either. Exclusionary titles are like flashing attention beacons, calling to me to post my opionion. Also, I had no idea there was something called "Heterosexism". Wasn't there enough stuff in these forums to get butt hurt about already?

    Oh, and really, i'm just here so this shows up in my news feed...

    And the answer is.. NO, there are never enough things to get butt hurt about.
    C'mon, you're not new here. That was an easy one.

    The point is that this is the internet and trying to exclude 1/2 of the population from commenting just doesn't work, shouldn't work, and it's pretty silly to expect such a thread title to keep the other half from commenting. It's even more silly when you're not even the OP and you're actually trying to enforce the sex segregation the thread title demands. It's just silly.

    Most of those "men/women only" threads are not being too serious when they say and most of the time making a joke about the title.

    You missed the point and my intent. Congratulations. Your user name makes me cringe. What are some kind of walking venereal disease? O_o

    I am aware of that. However, what led me to create this post was someone (not the OP) actually trying to enforce the sex segregation requested by the thread title.

    You are making a mountain out of an ant hill. There are a bunch of better things you could be offended about.

    I think discrimination is wrong. BOTOH, some people don't want to be bothered with saying men, women, GLBT people what do you think of _____ whatever the subject is. I am going to assume it's poor wording rather than someone trying to be exclusive. But, since I am not directly affected by this kind of discrimination, it's probably easier for me to let it slide somewhat.

    In any case anyone with an opinion on the topic should respond regardless of gender or orientation.

    Personally, I find it very helpful to know if a site's information is targeted to men vs women. Generally, the women's forums discuss items not very pertinent to me. The exclusionary term 'Men only' or 'For Women' might just be semantics, or 'insensitive' in Woman Speak. Feel free to comment all you want, your opinion is valuable. However, your level of apparent frustration with the terminology suggests you are very politicized on the issue. Maybe you could find a more significant issue to champion?

    I usually don't respond to those threads because the small-minded nature of trying to exclude 1/2 of the population just based upon genitals is ridiculous. I supposed gay men are allowed to respond but not lesbians? *eyeroll* But I agree with you. I am attracted to women and men, so if I had a strong feeling about my personal answer to questions like that I would respond anyway.

    BTW, for me, short skirt/dress and boots does it every time. :love:

    That does it for me sometimes, but not every time. I definitely LOVE the professional look. (And I don't mean prostitute) lol

    And yeah, heterosexism and really sexism as well are both rampant here on MFP. I am just doing my part to change that a little I guess.

    I disagree. I find MFP to be quite accepting compared to other online forums.

    You are trying to make a big deal out of nothing. There's tons of "women only" threads on here, and most of them are about TOM. I am grateful for those threads being titled so, because honestly, for me it's a warning to stay away.

    As for all those stupid, stupid "guys what do you find attractive?' threads, they are mostly started by straight women who are interested in answers from straight guys. They want answers from straight guys because that's who THEY are interested in.
    They don't care about your answer because it's not relevant TO THEM.

    That being said, no one ever belittled a woman for posting in a "guys only" thread.

    If this is the only "sexism" and as you put it "heterosexism" you've ever encountered, well, lucky you!
