I'm a member of chubbyparade.com and they have a sub-forum for photo verified femals only.That means you have to prove with a face shot that you are female!This means you get to discuss womens issues without the males butting in.
~snip~
So why can't you lock womens issues down to only photo verified ladys or make a sub-forum the male population can't get in too?It's a simple fix.

I don't want anything,All I did was suggest an idea for a forum where tha ladys could talk an not be interupted by the men.

Such a forum already exists. It's called the Real Ladies Group and it has it's own forum attached.

I can't for the life of me imagine why we need two exclusive places for women.

Seriously, the squeaky wheel may get the grease but if it never stops squeaking no matter what you do and it's starting to affect the performance of the car maybe it's time to ditch that particular wheel.

We have a group for that.

others won't see it that way, i'm afraid

think about how little the "size pref" sticky thread has been used. really think about it. since it has been created, not many males have used it.

we can't control them, i wish we could (in a way), but we can't

Nobody reads stickies. That's why the FAQ section gets a new thread asking how an account can be deleted every day. Stickies are only for the observant and curious. Your average person lacks sufficient powers of observation, and curiosity. I wish that were not the truth. I guess though, that I could wish in one hand, and shit in the other, and wait to see which one fills up first. A separate forum is just not comparable to a sticky.

I'll report anything I fucking well want until I am asked to stop, am banned, or the function is disabled. If a moderator sees my report, and decides I'm off-base, they can delete it, or whatever else is that moderators are supposed to do with a useless report. Part of being a moderator, as it is currently set up, is to process these reports. If moderators do not wish to moderate, they can always stop. I seriously doubt the administrators dress up in devil costumes and prod you lot with red-hot pitchforks to make you do what you volunteered to do.

I would like to thank everyone for their thoughts on this. We are discussing ways to help improve the site.
I never considered that this thread would become so contentious and for that I'm sorry. It's just with the amount of reports we get I wanted your viewpoint. We will taKe everything into consideration and discuss any changes that are possible.

Just for the record... we appreciate any and all reports and discuss each one and they are not deleted they are all filed in case we need to refer to them again at a later time.

We know we can't make LPSG be everything for everyone but we are trying to make it be the best possible; that's why I wanted some input because I don't spend a great deal of time in this forum or interacting with many of the members.
Again thank you for your time and consideration.

I'm going to write my response before I read the thread. Apologies if I repeat something that's been said already.

For me, a women's issue is something that is common to women, or specific to women. A women's issue is something that women can answer, but men could not (except through experience with partners, family members, or friends). A women's issue is also something that women (in general, everyone will be different of course) actually give a shit about.

In an applied sense:

The recent thread about someone's boyfriend's masturbatory habits is not a women's issue, as far as I am concerned. I don't know if it is common for a woman to have a partner who masturbates to that extent, but it is certainly not an issue specific to women (it may also be experienced by single men and by gay couples). Women are not the best ones to be answering the questions in the post - most of the questions in the post are asking about things that women will only have experience with through their partners or friends. Something is not a women's issue just because a woman is asking it.

A few months ago, another thread was moved out of women's issues, I assume because it was not seen to be a women's issue. The OP (a guy) was asking about how he could make first time sex good for the woman he was hoping to sleep with. Although he was obviously hoping for some reassurance that his penis would be a satisfactory size for her, the core of his question was about making a woman's first time enjoyable. As far as I'm concerned, this is certainly a women's issue. It is common to women (every woman on here has had, or will have a first time - I don't think we have any women here who intend a life of chastity). It is specific to women - only women can experience a first time from a vaginal view point. Only women could answer the OP's question from direct experience. And I don't know about the other women, but personally, I care about helping to make a woman's first time less painful and more enjoyable. Just because a thread was started by a man, it doesn't mean it ISN'T a women's issue.

Then you have the questions which should go into the hypothetical 'Ask a Woman' section some of us keep hoping for. These are the threads that aren't REALLY women's issues, but for now, Women's Issues is the most appropriate place for them. A recent example is the 'Big cock vs good body' thread. It's not really a women's issue. I doubt many women sit around saying to their friends 'Oooh, would you rather have a big cock or a good body?'. Where these things sit in a hierarchy of attributes is really not something most women give a shit about, I would think. However, it IS something that only women can answer, and in some ways, it is in our interests for men to know where we stand on the matter. So I really think it's not a women's issue, but with no other appropriate place for it to go, it belongs in Women's Issues.

Oh for petes sake..really??!!?? Then we, women need to lighten up. You're being bombarded with reports. Some of the ladies have too much time on their hands. Seriously.

Who cares? If a thread shows up thats sketchy like "Is my penis too big for my girlfriend?" I ignore it (or post a snarky answer!) This isn't rocket science here. It's a big dick site. Geez.

While I'm not in the Who Cares camp with you, reporting does seem a little excessive to me. I either ignore inappropriate threads entirely, or do a Not A Women's Issue post.


I agree seaside, what's the big deal about where a thread lands anyway?

What's the point in having a Women's Issues forum if you can start any old thread in it? The same goes for any of the forums. I think Hilaire said it better than I could:

But in general terms the reason I think it's important for threads to fit the stated purpose of the forum their posted in is a practical one (shocking though that may be to one or two members who probably think me motivated by a radical feminist agenda LOL). Ultimately there is little or no point in having differentiated forums if we don't keep those forums roughly related to the intended topics of discussion they were created for. If we allow totally free form thread posting then we ought to do away with differentiated forums which would hinder that and make it less easy to find what you want in this free form environment. Basically its about keeping things organised and making things easier for members.


Why on earth would a woman be reluctant to post anywhere except in this forum?

For my first few months, I was scared to venture outside of Women's Issues. This place felt safe. Of course, once I did venture out, I wondered what I'd been worried about :redface:.

If the mods don't like people reporting they should turn the reporting function off. Instead they create a passive-aggressive thread asking us why we're reporting all the wrong things. We should be able to read their minds about what they consider is, or isn't, a women's issue.

Patchos, that's not how I construed the OP at all. Nobody said anything about 'wrong' reporting. I have reported a few things too and sometimes there is a result, sometimes not. Some of the things I have posted here in this forum could have been moved to Politics fx, and I wouldn't have objected. But nobody else seemed to mind me labeling them Womens Issues if they involved females.

Everybody's going to draw different boundaries.

Oh, political issues regarding women, oh yes, I think a lot of those belong in Women's Issues, because those are things that affect women, are about women, and things that women care about.

Is it April already because this must be a joke.

I created a thread in November last year http://www.lpsg.org/211777-oral-start.html and place it in what I thought was an appropriate venue Women's Issues.




"If a man or woman begins exploring and tasting your body, what is your feeling about starting at the naval? I'm highly turned on by a woman's naval and have never been reproached for starting there but am wondering if that's a method and place women like as a start."


A moderator then placed it in Sex Wiith A Large Penis. MY thread asked specifically if women liked navel attention as a start, there wasn't any mention of a penis big, small, average and it never asked what the man felt doing this or if he liked having it done to him.

It was aimed at women asking their view and feeling. Meanwhile there are threads in the Women's Issues forum which can be directed at men and women yet they aren't put elsewhere.

I was never advised that the thread was being sent elsewhere and the Moderator didn't indicate in the thread that they'd moved it. Maybe the idea that I'd erred and written naval when I meant navel was the logic used although it was still asked of women.


Now that one I would have let stay if I were possessed of modly powers. But I am so lazy I refuse to run. If elected I will not serve. :tongue: But everybody has a navel, even men, so whether the navel is an erogenous zone was construed by some mod gods as a non-gender query. You, Hoss, get aroused by navel play, but some of your lovers have not. Were the ick-sayers all female?

Personally I am not aroused by the taste of lint. But I do like to hump the area.
