thank you, stella.

We hope it will mean a rise in females posting here. It may take awhile but Ron has said that several women that he speaks with at shows say they don't post here because of the abuse they have taken or seen women receive on this site.
Hopefully we can make this a spot where they can feel more comfortable, and then they may be able to eventually contribute to and enjoy the rest of the forums here. There really is quite a bit of good information on this site as well as a lot of clever humor, and it could be enriched by more women posting here. :)

<hand in the air> I would like to be put up for review, I will follow the rules and always work to make the group laugh..:)

Thanks STella, can we look forward to a "girls" what is it?.. ;D

I want Migs.
I don't know the guy at all but I have learned a few beauty secrets from him :)

I don't know the guy at all but I have learned a few beauty secrets from him :)
I'm betting he'll be here at least by tomorrow! Hoping so :D
-
Should we let Michael into our secret club? :-X ;D
-
This whole "no males allowed to post here" concept is amusing, to say the least.
How exactly do you feminazis intend to determine the gender of posters?
We can't,
But Mom (STella) and staff will just keep deleting the rif raf's posts (I figure my days are numbered)
And Ron carries a big stick, and he has threatened to use it. Try it, you might like it
-
You know what i found so interesting is that one of my posts /stories became a whole thread over on the V Board...i could careless, but it does make me cautious when wanting to write something.

Consider it an honor that everybodies life revolved around your thoughts for a little while. :-*

It's funny because that exact thought did go through my head!!!
Thanks!!!
Lisa
-
Is this sort of like a pity date? ;D
I can do that ;D again :-\
Mikey is a little (okay a lot) silly but completely harmless. so get him to ask Mom if he can come play in our sandbox.
Why don't you ask him.
-
Becuase Mike has to ask Mom himself. And then she gets to ask him all sort of "first date" questions and we all get to laugh at the answers later.
It is a good system,
and I am not one to make waves ::)
no really ::) ::)
quit laughing >:( ::) >:(
Well, you're almost like family now...I'm sure he won't mind you asking her for him.
-
Cheri and Original Sin,
Are you two fighting? I hope not! Let's all be friends :D
Oh, and Mike needs to read the rules and tell us he will abide by them himself.
:)

I humbly agree to all of these rules

Can that board be made "hidden" so that only women may be able to see/post on it?
If it is supposed to be an open board for girls to talk then why can men not only read it but ignore the WOMEN ONLY part and post anyways?
Some of the mens posts have been contributive, but the majority of them are not there for that reason. ::)
exactament !!!
xLinda
ps: (I haven't been here long enough, so don't exactly earn an opinion, but...
I actually have no objection to them reading us (for their 'kicks"), but I REALLY DO THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA IF YOU HAD ONE PLACE WHERE JUST WOMEN MAY CONVERSE (and have pillow fights etc.). It would be lovely...
I was hugely disappointed yesterday when you started off with "women only", then started approving males...
with love,

the idea of picking a guys brain on some of the finer issues in life seems rather appealing. And I really like men, I mean I really really like men.

on the other hand, we can go talk (and listen) to them elsewhere

translation=kiss ass and be phony.
translation=Sorry, I can't play nicely. ;D
Come on Sar...play with the girls, just be nice about it. Not very hard.
-
i just don't understand this whole "no negativity" bullshit, negative things are a part of this cesspool of a world just open your eyes and look at the things going on around you, women make me laugh, you guys are nice to each others faces and when you turn your back you're talking about how fat another girl is, how fucked up her hair is, how old her clothes are, how nerdy her boyfriend is, how bad her pussy smells, etc., give me a break, just be real.
Maybe so, but on this board you gotta behave! >:(
-
just be real.
with love,

Are those the ones you thought weren't good enough to give away and you would "have to hide the evidence?" ;D
-
Yep...we were both at the St. Charles show and he went around telling the competitors that they were "protein cookies" it was actually pretty funny. I ate so many the night before I was a little sick though, I've recovered and will be bravely continuing on with my bulking diet-(like the margaritas and nachos I had last night). Don't worry I have all you dieters in mind and will be trying to consume enough for all of us.
I LOVE the off-season ;D

Perhaps the mods should consider adding a new caveat:
"Please do not be a male, and spam girl talk with over 100 obnoxious, condescending, subtly belligerent, know-it-all posts which irritate everyone, drive away girls and significantly reduce the positive and peaceful vibe of the board, as it was designed to be a place for females to chat in peace not have some male moron run rampant"
Just trying to help :)

Some male members of Getbig have been known to purposely offend women on this site which has resulted in very few women posting here and has discouraged others from joining.
In an effort to make current female members of getbig feel comfortable and to encourage other females to register and participate, males must be approved by the moderators in order to be able to post on this particular board.
1. Show common courtesy at all times. Know the difference between a difference of opinion and a personal attack. Don't engage in insults. Do remember that we have members from a variety of nations, races and religious beliefs.
2. Do not post solicitations or advertisements without permission.
3. Do not post threats or any material that is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, or invasive of a person's privacy.
4. This forum is for support, empowerment, sharing opinions and entertainment. Getbig.com is not a professional advice forum, and no one should use it as such. For medical problems, consult a medical professional.
5. Moderators may move posts as deemed necessary and at their discretion.
6. Do not register or post under multiple user names or pretend to be female when you are not. If you are confused, please seek professional help and/or your doctor's advice.

this probably won't even get approved since i'm not in the "in" club but don't you ladies have a problem with having your own heavily moderated gestapo board pandering to you on a 90% male forum? i mean, seems a bit condescending and not at all "empowering". doesn't this take a shit all over the concept of gender equality and perpetuate the stereotype that all women are fragile flowers that need to be pandered to? i know i'd be offended. hell, as a male i think "male-centered" advertising, like for example that dr. pepper 10 macho man campaign, was appalling, personally. with gender equality, you take the good with the bad. thoughts?

Interesting point. Seems like when some folks are fighting back against long standing oppression, they are sometimes forced to take extreme measures. It is not like it as easy as proclaiming you deserve equal rights as opposed to fighting for them.
Call me crazy, but homosexuals are oppressed and so are females. Could this explain why we are sometimes completely simpatico?

hmm, so you're saying the ends justify the means? but doesn't this kind of segregation actually stimulate more animosity for the segregated party and reverse all the progress being made? i'm a bisexual immigrant myself and while i don't openly advertise it to everyone, i haven't really found myself subjected to much "oppression" other than the usual "fag" or "commie" (being of eastern european descent) passing remarks on either front. in fact it's even lead to some of my close friends admitting their homoerotic tendencies to me and becoming more accepting of themselves.
maybe it's different for me since my sexual flexibility allows me to not really be as personally affected by issues like gay marriage, so perhaps my view is biased. i understand there's still inequality issues concerning abortion, gay marriage, etc. by all means keep fighting for equality, i'm not saying you shouldn't, but it seems to me that this kind of segregation makes all of the hard-fought political victories a "one step forward, one step back" kind of deal. why willingly victimize yourself?

maybe it's different for me since my sexual flexibility allows me to not really be as personally affected by issues like gay marriage, so perhaps my view is biased. i understand there's still inequality issues concerning abortion, gay marriage, etc. by all means keep fighting for equality, i'm not saying you shouldn't, but it seems to me that this kind of segregation makes all of the hard-fought political victories a "one step forward, one step back" kind of deal. why willingly victimize yourself?
I too classify myself as being bisexual. It is a brave move, since some homosexuals hate us as do some heterosexuals. Of course we can take some comfort in the knowledge from our personal experiences that most people are open to sexual gratification from a variety of sources.
Oppression is the how those who cannot accept themselves as the sexual being they are and so they need to distance themselves from this by oppressing those who they most fear will out them for who they really are.
I prefer to think of things in baby steps forward, but you might be right in that they may be a "Mother may I" kind of game.

i agree, being a mixed anything often means receiving hate from both parties. personally i agree with kinsey's theory that the vast majority of people are some degree of bisexual, and think that as it becomes more mainstream, people will be more willing to embrace themselves and others (no pun intended). personally i think the real definition of empowerment is being who you are and not giving a rat's ass about what others think of you. but yeah, i'm glad i'm past the accepting myself stage of my life. it caused me to lose some friends but i do not regret it, if anything it taught me who my real friends were, and who were the phony ones.

Being somewhat old school, I have a little bit of trouble not giving a "rat's ass" about what others think about me. This is my shortcoming, I know. Unfortunate and unpleasant experiences by those who should been there for me taught me to feel guilt about who I am in a sexual sense. Although this is ancient history now, it made an indelible impression on me.
I have hope that the future will be more enlightened than the past.

Hi all, since I did not see an introduction page around here, I thought this would be a nice place for a new girl in town to say hi. I'm kinda new to this forum, though I've read along with my husband. Hope to learn a lot from you!
Cheers, BB
