What you've done is about the worst type of reverse discrimination there is, and I don't really like it much.
Don't you think the women on this board can take care of themselves? Women have always had to put up with sexual harassment everywhere, it's something that's always been and always will be.
If some women aren't able to take it or deal with it, nothing you do is going to help.
One thing I've always liked about this board is the freedom of expression you allow. If someone is harassing a woman, to me it looks like the guy's a jerk.. that's all I see and that's all the woman should see too.
I understand that you want the Miss Gfy contest to be successful, but to sacrifice the contestants pride doesn't seem like a good way to do that.
Maybe it's just me that feels this way.. I have a lot of life experience, and have learned how to deal with the buttwads in this life.. but I do remember a time when I didn't know how, so maybe I'm way off on this..
I'd like to hear the opinions of the other women on the board

You have a good point, and I see what you mean, but I don't think it is meant to have that type of effect. The women who have taken care of themselves on this board will continue to do so, without crying to Lensman at every comment (I know this doesn't change how I will post). However, it should protect the new girls that are here for Miss GFY, or are not used to this type of board interaction, and were getting attacked just for being a new female or "not enough of a webmistress". I'm not saying they should get their asses kissed, and if a girl starts shit, she better be able to finish it herself. However, no one should get bashed just for walking in the door. If we scare them all away now, the amount of women posters does not grow. If they all get to post like everyone else, then the board topics and overall vibe will weed out most of the girls who may not fit, and we end up with a few new businesswomen posters.
Edit: 100 good girls and boys.
