I can see your viewpoint and I believe you do feel this way, but some -- not all -- male members on this forum speak to the female members as if they are beneath them, trash, to include calling them vulgar names. It is as if the females cannot voice any opinion, and when they do, it's called "hijacking threads," "playing the victim," et cetera. In my own case, when all else fails, they go after Keith and start ripping him apart in words.
When a female voices their discontent on AzBilliards, a band of men come forth to trash her. It's not just me. I've seen it on other threads with other lady members of this forum who express their opinions.
This forum is, in a way, representative of the reason why it's a male-oriented sport. It took women many years to get the vote, but when it comes to pool, women will never be treated equally. They are, indeed, discriminated against from doing the very same things their male counterparts do in the pool room. How dare she be good!
I have not posted once this morning in the thread about Corey and Hennessee that I've been accused of derailing, but check out how many of the people who accused me of hijacking that thread have posted this morning in the thread. The very ones who accused me of it are still at it, doing *exactly* what they accused me of. I rest my case.
All this is just standard inet "flame war"/troll stuff...r.s.b. was a flame war haven when last I checked in 2008 or so...then there's Jimbo's Army etc. and how that came about...OK so the topic may be different this time...but IMHO it's just all standard stuff for open forums on the inet these days...and I doubt it'll ever change or go away....
I would like your opinion on handicapped tournaments where women get a spot from all men in the tournament. Even if the woman plays better than her opponent she still gets the spot. I have never heard one of the women say I would prefer to play the men even because I don't want to be discriminated against. She says well I am a woman so I deserve a spot. So is this a situation where women are in the wrong for wanting/getting a spot that they don't need?
If you didn't care for that little Asian hottie in the avatar I can only imagine your reaction to the "women get no respect" video clip I am now reminded of. Can't post it here though cuz it really is porn.:smile:
You probably don't have a daughter, do you?

Bad guess sir.

None of the Lady CEOs or GMs that I've seen are like that...(and I know/have worked for and with a number of them)...in fact they realize they have to up their game to compete in a man's world, and they do....
You may be right...but...today a few, and maybe tomorrow many though....
Here's a few copy/pastes....

139 Humans discriminate against lesser skilled humans in just about every walk of life
144 geez, at least the woman pool players play on 9 foot tables, NOT five foot tables
145 the OP was saying that the ladies don't have the hand eye coordination like the guys
149 Annie Oakley could cut it in a man's world
150 but when a game stays out of touch and does not "change" it doesn't grow too much
152 there will never be as many women as men in fields of brutal competition because that's just the way it is
153 Thanks. Humor is my bag.
154 Modern women want to do it all
155 And in a 1000 years people might think it was silly that there was ever a time in human history when a woman's brain was thought to be inferior to a man's in any aspect.
157 The jobs of men are always more brutal than those of women, and more risky
158 Just admit it and I'm out of here. In fact, I think I'm out of here anyway.
160 This is like watching Fox News and MSNBC
161 I come from a warrior tribe (as does my wife)...and I have daughters...if I fall in battle, they'll have to take up the sword and continue for me...and I ain't the least bit worried....
164 we've all seen female players in open tournaments that only play against men that seem to have a more muscular way of playing.
165 Up until the computer age, the development of human history has been driven forward by the genius of men from every conceivable field. Perhaps you can point me in the direction of Mrs Socrates, Ms Einstein, Ms Beethoven, Miss Newton?
167 You really have a broken google don't you?
168 in the pool world, it's every MAN for himself
136 I feel simply that women are not as creative as men. I'm talking about across the board.
137 I get the feeling that some women feel about men the same as many large retail stores feel about Walmart
122 Now girls can spot guys the 7ball when it comes maturity and priorities and stuff like that..
124 women have fully bypassed men today in academic pursuits.
127 I think there are just less women interested in hitting rocks with sticks than men
139 But her brain doesn't interpret the images and pass orders along to the muscles in the same way.
