Brandi - From reading your posts, I can tell you have a Texas-sized heart (big) and a generous soul. You always make me smile.
Even though I'm a "dog girl" with three big fluffly golden retrievers, I love your kitty cat avatar photo.

Well said Brandi!
I spend a lot of time on a male dominated motorcycling board and find myself running to TE for the wit, caring, and compassion here. TE is truly a unique place is cyberspace.

Community culture here is way different
+1 Not into motorcycling, but the male-dominated cycling boards are a real change from what happens here. Well-said Brandi.

Brandi - you said it wonderfully! The women on this forum welcome you with open arms. It is amazing.
Sydney - I was thinking the same thing while I was out riding today. Those boards seem to have an absurd amount of discussion about "freds". I've heard no mention of that here - or any other derogatory terms for that matter - what a relief. Isn't it funny - the men seem to be "catty" and the women are not. I love that!

Hmm, a quick whirl over at bikeforums reveals that the term Fred appears to be used to describe any non-elite non-racer biker who may not wear matching team kit, may be riding a bike worth less than $3K, and might even *gasp* have hairy legs!!!
Gah, I almost got testosterone poisoned after spending 5 minutes over there.
