By all means, flay me for working on the premise that the men in this forum are actually grown up enough to talk like adults about it. Perhaps some of them have noticed how few women post regularly in our forum. Perhaps they don't care. Perhaps they prefer to float in a sea of testosterone. Fair enough. I gave you the chance to say so if that's how you feel. People complain when things are done without consultation and some of the posters in good standing in this forum wanted a discussion about it.
I mean you dont post a poll, mods arent going to make a decision so when you created the thread what was the actual point? it literally is just a politics thread without the title then
The reason why so few women post in this forum is cause in case you havent noticed this is a poker forum and it is a male-dominated (and dying) game. If youre acting like the reason we dont have women post here is cause the community as a whole is a sexist misogynistic wasteland, then youre crazy. The only woman I can remember getting run off was VR and that was largely due to Mac who is permabanned for good reason.
I personally enjoy Miss Pog but not to the point of fighting for it to stay if there's such a big hoopla over it. I also dont vote solely on looks and neither do most other people afaik, many of the people who actively participate in pushing for their specific female to win post interviews and funny/personable clips of them. Im not going to say its not a beauty contest cause yes that is the first thing people are looking at. But people like Anna Kendrick/MEW/Kristen Bell/Margot Robbie (to a lesser extent) winning means its not just a beauty contest. Also why you dont see supermodels ever winning.
