Other good forums

my husband has some resentments about the fact that we have an all woman forum and there isn't such a thing for men. I told him there's no rule that a guy can't post here, but he was not mollified. wah wah wah.

i have noticed that on forums where the majority of posters are men there is
an AWFUL lot of chest beating...

Tell him that it took a woman to start it. He can start his own if he wants to.

GOOD response!!

I asked that these folks:
Melstar
Trek420
Lovemyswift
eofelis
roguedog

are all allowed into the women's forum. It shows up on the main forum list between 'Winter Cycling' and the 'General Cycling Discussions' forums, close to the bottom.

Nice group, but not as chatty as we are here!

I'm in the womens forum there already, but thanks for thinking of me!

Thanks from me, I'm also in the women's forum, I liked it better when you didn't have to log in to it.

I find the general forums more interesting and usually post there.

Thanks Pedal. Went there and didn't see anything? Is it right under General Discussion? All I see is Winter Cycling and then General Discussion. No big.

I've heard men whine about other women's things, like Women's History Month, Women's Studies at my university, etc. Their little myth is that there's no Men's History Month, Men's Studies, etc. Well, hello--until relatively recently in our cultural history (through most of the 20th century at least), almost all studies were men's studies and most of the history taught and celebrated involved what were known as "great men"--great white men, at that--"dead white males."

And if men want to have their own forum, one of them just has to ... start one.

But we do have a pretty cool thing going here, and I can see why any guy would be envious.

I loved Irulan's description - sausage fests.

I'm active on two other forums bikeforums.net and bicyclegroup.com.

BF is a good place to go and "chat", find out information but the site is sooooo large, it's a nightmare. Posts easily get lost. A number of TE folks also post at BF.

BCG is a small, family-like forum. It's "bike centric" although threads sometimes gets off track. I think its an excellent place for a newbie or anyone to go. You would be treated with respect. Rudeness is not tolerated (much). I've met alot of the BCG folks at Interbike last year, a very nice group of people. Give BCG a looksee. Most likely questions will be politely and expertly answered.
