Thread Name: Mudcat Cafe: New Folk Music Porn Site?
Subject: RE: Mudcat Cafe: New Folk Music Porn Site?
BillD, why aren't you discussing this subject with kat? With Nicole? With Peg? With Guest KT? Why are you ignoring their objections, and focusing solely on the one guest?

Several women members and fairly regular guests have voiced their concerns about the proliferation of sexually titillating adult subject matter in the forum. They have asked that it be stopped, out of courtesy to them. The response has been to ignore them, mock them, and especially in regards to my posts, slap us down. It is easy to bitch slap the guest nobody likes, when you can't get away with bitch slapping kat and Nicole and SharonA isn't it? But you are sending them a veiled threat by doing so. And a not so very veiled threat in the all male thread "Seven Words..."

Don't worry BillD. I'm guessing the other women are able to read between the lines of the men's messages to us, just as I am. If we complain about degrading, humiliating treatment at the hands of assholes in this forum, nothing is going to be done about it. The "community standard" for behavior is quite obvious to me. One standard for the men, one standard for the women, and if the women don't like it, well don't let the screen door hit you on the way out.

Right fellas? I'm sure you all feel VERY powerful now. In the Mudcat forum, you aren't just powerful, you are the rule of law.
