Just wondering if geekhack have any girl member.

Roguemaster8 · « **Reply #1 on:** Fri, 20 January 2012, 00:43:08 »

I'm sure there are women who share a passion for keyboards and other computing peripherals as much as the men here do.

TheProfosist · « **Reply #2 on:** Fri, 20 January 2012, 00:45:09 »

There are but I wonder if theyllbshow for this thread.

Henry Allen Venture · « **Reply #3 on:** Fri, 20 January 2012, 00:46:30 »

There was a poll not long ago. The results were a bit of a sausagefest, from memory.

NO CROSSING SWORDS! It's in the forum guidelines. You'll be perma-banned.

I believe most would be lurkers because once she has be exposed, a miliion and one guys will add her as friend instantly.
Just saying.

I've once met nice lady who like mechanical keyboards in Singapore but lurks the forums and only PMs instead of posting anything.

Girls in men's forums will tend to feel inferior as they have small number to get MO and etc done.

Imagine themed MO:

Men like beer, football, computer games and sex.

And back on topic, I think it's sad and desperate when someone in a forum states that she's a lady, and 90% of the forum starts hitting on them and/or set them as forum friends, instead of just treating her like any other member of the forum.

I wouldn't make my avatar some rando, and what difference does it make whether I say if I'm a girl or a boy? I'm not going to lie and say I'm a guy just so yall would treat me the same as the others. It's sort of just expected that you should anyways. Not that it matters.

deannacx · « **Reply #30 on:** Fri, 20 January 2012, 08:11:40 »

It was a question, and I simply answered it.

Off the top of my head, I can think of at least 12 women who are or were members at GH. I can also say that, easily, about 8-10 of them knew more about keyboards and had better input than about 99.9% of the swinging ****s that hang around here.

That requires maturity, and as can easily be witnessed some of our oldest members are far from mature.

I feel it is a sham that we can't welcome girls. Though male dominated things are often more comfortable for other guys and myself, I think we would benefit in having more female members, especially in organization coughGroupbuyscouch

Henry Allen Venture · « **Reply #36 on:** Fri, 20 January 2012, 09:35:24 »

I don't see the issue. This is why we have different subforums. If you want to talk about keyboards, go to the keyboards subforum. If you're interested in being social, go to the other ones. So far as I can see, your gender doesn't effect your appreciation of keyboards, so lets not make it an issue?

Speaking of which, I only just noticed that this thread was in the keyboard subforum. Mods should probably move it?

To me, gender, race, sexuality, religion, nationality, political affiliation, etc is all irrelevant. If you treat me right, I do the same. It's not complex.

no ****.

this is a keyboard/tech forum. if someone is here, it's because they're primarily interested in the tech, not the social aspects of the forum. there are far better social outlets if they're interested in being harassed and oggled at by creepy guys. for most, Facebook fills that need quite nicely.

on a social forum, that's a totally different situation.

no **** what?

we are on the same page here, no need for the hostility.

I just don't see the fuss. Oh look, a girl that likes keyboards...........! How could she be as nerdy as I am...?

C'mon fellows, I don't think nobody cares one has somebody hanging or not. Truth said, why would you make such a question in the first place? For me it makes no differece whatsoever to talk to a male or a female. So, the question sounds to me as "is there any asian around here? Any native american?". Its just some stupidity, as what matters is what people has to say...not their gender/religion/race/whatever.

PS: yes, such stupid and irrelevant questions irk me...

Yeah same, my favorite personal phrase:

"I discriminate equally"

I'm a fairly racist person, but only in appropriate situations

Forums are inherently social. I'm not afraid of "coming out" as female on a forum like this because it helps dispel stereotypes (e.g., that women only care about babies). I'm female and I hate babies, weddings, and holding doors open for people.
