Women Only

Jacqueline,

I completely understand your need. Unsolicited snarky answers show up in most of the threads, and all, in my opinion, are disrespectful. Weeding idiots out of our lives requires constant villigance and assertiveness. My point is that applying labels, however well intended, in the end only feeds prejudice and limits knowledge.

I hear you. A while back ago I asked the moderators to post some rules here. I think you will find what you are looking for here. Most of the regular women sailors here will answer any questions you might have. Once in awhile the men will come in but their answers generally stick to the topic at hand.

I think we had this conversation before (might've been before your time?), and the consensus was that the "her" in "hersailnet" was more about the topics of interest than total exclusion of the men, that we'd welcome information whereever it came from and men are welcome IF they're respectful and on-topic. And that even if the thread title is tempting (like sailing braless) that we expect those rules to be followed. I second what Melrna said, I think this is a pretty good community.

Was there a question Jacque? Standing by to see if I can add any insight...
