    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!

    I'm glad you have a vagina. So do I, and they're pretty cool. But as has been pointed out, sometimes people want the man-hitting-on-women perspective, as opposed to the women-hitting-on-women perspective. And sometimes people just don't want to post "hey, everyone attracted to vagina, give me your perspective." It gets wordy, so "men" or "women" only is a verbal shortcut. Sometimes it's just easier to say "hey guys." Remember, we're all the same decomposing matter as everyone else.

    I've seen threads on other forums that ask for "lesbians only" or "transgender only" responses. Are they magically less sexist?

    I might be naive but I never let the titles of threads stop me joining in, and i am not so sure anyone really intends stop anyone joining in? It's MFP not the masons lodge.
    I will join in any thread I wish to , but i feel strongly it has to be funny! i am blessed with breasts but don't want to start another thread about this, I think you have it covered. Xx

    The fact that I have a vagina is not going to keep me from posting in the heterosexist threads that are titled with 'men, what do you think?', 'Guys only.', or any other similar titles. Those are not titles that somehow magically keep women from entering. Also, when I see a thread that says 'women only' or something similar I just expect there to be men commenting in the thread. This is the internet, and this is how it has been for quite some time now. Usually there's not a problem with this because it's simply what most long-time internet users expect.

    So, I will keep commenting in the threads that ask men what they are attracted to because amazingly I am a vagina-having person attracted to other vagina-having persons and some of what I am attracted to men are also. My opinion is not made irrelevant simply because I have a vagina or because I like other vaginas.

    Or should MFP start enforcing sex segregation in those threads? What if someone were to post a thread with 'White opinions only!' as the thread title and a black person commented? Should we have skin colour segregation as well?

    How do you feel about the heterosexist threads that are so common in the MFP chit chat forum? Do you have a problem with someone posting in a thread if they are of the opposite sex the OP is requesting opinions from? Why? Why not?

    Have a brilliant day.

    Cheers,

    Candy

    Edit: typo

    Are you truly this desperate for attention? I cringed.
