14 Nov 01 - 11:54 PM (#592958) Subject: Mudcatter's Genders From: Murray MacLeod First off, I have just realized the apostrophe in the thread title is misplaced. Apologies to all fellow pedants. Thing is, I like to know when I am replying to a post, whether the poster is male or female. Obviously this is impossible in the case of anonymous Guests, although my presupposition is that he/they are invariably male. There are however a number of members whose chosen handles give no clue as to their gender. Often it is possible to deduce from their postings whether they are male or female, but not always. What I am proposing is that if your handle does not identify your gender, you could post to this thread simply stating "Male" or "Female" in the message. Not a big deal, and maybe you wish for some reason to remain ambivalent, but I feel it would be useful for other members to know. I can think of one or two past incidences of confusion regarding this issue. I mean , I would be seriously embarrassed if I were to allege that someone lacked balls, and subsequently found out that I was addressing a woman .................. Murray |

15 Nov 01 - 12:12 AM (#592970) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatter's Genders From: Mark Clark Murray, A Mudcatter is totally without gender. Many Mudcatters, however, do have sex—probably not as often as they'd like—being most often either male or female. - Mark |

15 Nov 01 - 12:19 AM (#592973) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatter's Genders From: Murray MacLeod Mark, are you trying to out-pedant a pedant ? I deliberately avoided the S-word lest it led to confusion, I felt that "gender" was altogether safer. Amos, shame on you never thought of you as TWASOH !! Benjamin, I don't think your handle causes any confusion. Neither do my balls. Murray |

15 Nov 01 - 12:32 AM (#592983) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatter's Genders From: Mark Clark Murray, Are you saying I should know better? <g> I think it's the incorrect use of the word gender that leads to confusion. In my experience, correct use of language seldom leads to confusion. Language is a maleable thing to be sure but I don't think people should alter the language just because they're timid or have sticks up their butts. Is that pedantic enough? - Mark |

15 Nov 01 - 12:38 AM (#592987) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatter's Genders From: Murray MacLeod Amergin, gender is not the same as sexual orientation, which indeed does not have the slightest relevance in this context. Murray

15 Nov 01 - 12:49 AM (#592993) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatter's Genders From: Mark Cohen I agree with Mark Clark, but I'm afraid it's a losing cause. In the good old days, a noun had a gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter), and a person had a sex (generally male or female). But somewhere along the line someone thought it was indelicate to use the word "sex" so indiscriminately (there's a pun hidden in there somewhere, I think), and borrowed the linguistic term. It's one of those many examples of an acceleration in the natural evolution of language, probably a result of television and, now, the internet. Unfortunately, it means one of my favorite jokes is destined for obsolescence: A young woman is filling out a job application. She comes to the item with the word "Sex", accompanied by two checkboxes labeled "M" and "F". After some thought, she checks the "F" box. In the margin, she writes, "I haven't M'd for years." Aloha, Mark |

15 Nov 01 - 12:53 AM (#592994) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatter's Genders From: paddymac Conventional English is generally not well disposed toward genderless discourse. Though gender usually does factor into verbal communication, it needn't be so in written communication. A difficulty in a place like this is that our exchages seem to often fall somewhere between verbal and written norms or conventions. Personally, I think not knowing the other person's gender leads to a more considerate conversation. As to the use of expressions regarding "balls", the usage is metaphorical, not anatomical, and gender seems thus unimportant to the communication. Excepting, of course, that the speaker might choose a different metaphor when the other person's gender is known. :-) |

I may be giving birth to a firkin of old grungers knacker nudger! On a more serious note one of the things I love about Mudcat is that you often do not know who you are talking to and it matters not one jot! Whether I am male, female, black, white, green, pink, gay, straight, christian, moslem, jewish or even human does not matter.

15 Nov 01 - 10:15 AM (#593190) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatter's Genders From: SharonA Murray, I'm surprised that no one's pointed this out till now. but there are lots of women with "balls" out there... and around here! Since "lacking balls" is, of course, a euphemism for lacking nerve, women can be as guilty of that as men. I suppose, though, that a man would feel more challenged by the accusation, and would feel the urge to defend his manhood. You probably wouldn't get as much of a rise (pun intended) out of a woman. BTW, I'm female. My Mudcat nickname is NOT short for Sharon, Ariel! But I did embarrass myself recently by assuming that Ickle Dorritt was male, and consequently had to correct the lyrics to a parody I'd posted about her dog (Ickle has since changed her nickname). So, yeah, a gender clarification might be handy, but wouldn't it be less of an interruption to thread-flow if more of us simply submitted the information to the "Member Photos & Info" quick-link? To GUEST, Lionel: If you think it's hard to be ambivalent about sex while living in Middlesex, try moving to Intercourse, PA!!! |

15 Nov 01 - 10:24 AM (#593202) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatter's Genders From: lamarca A word of caution from a spoilsport... Mudcat is a very Public (that's public, not pubic, catspaw) Place, and not everyone who views posts is a member. The world being a riskier place for women, no matter what country you're in, some 'Catters probably would rather not let the world know if they're female. Just as many single women have their telephone directory entries read "Smith, K. W." instead of "Smith, Kathy" to prevent noxious attentions, some female 'Catters probably prefer gender-neutral monickers... |

15 Nov 01 - 11:02 AM (#593243) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatter's Genders From: katlaughing Cceltic Soul, I'd never heard that meaning for kahuna. I'd always heard it referred to the shamans, male and female. Anyway, I went looking for more info and found this, which I thought might be of interest: kahunakui.com, with several definitions. Main definition of "kahuna" is "an expert in any profession." I couldn't get the definitions to copy, but here is some of the rest of what it posted there. There is some other good info, too, which I did not copy. Many people have asked me to define the word Kahuna. The definitions above were from the Hawaiian Dictionary © by Mary Kawena Pukui and Samuel H. Elbert and published by The University of Hawaii Press. The word Kahuna literal means theHuna. Huna being the ancient religion of the kanaka maoli (Hawaiians) before the death of King Kamehameha (circa 1817). kat - who still likes the amazonian implications, too:-) |

In most cases women can talk just as much tosh as men, I have never noticed one gender having more sensitivity than the other and I believe in polite ( where ever possible, I'm not a saint ) to people regardless of their gender. I don't see how waving flags as to which sex we are would help in most conversations. My only gripe, being female, is this Miss, Ms, Mrs. If men are referred to as mister ( a corruption of master ) why can't women all be referred to as mistress, the original form of address for a woman? What's all this messing around with marital status and how old you are? Mainly I'll answer to anything polite, but this just narks me when filling in forms.

Sharon the Dancing Mom is female this go 'round, I figure I've been male in past lives. There was a time when women took male names so their music or literary writings would be accepted for their own value. |

17 Nov 01 - 11:23 PM (#594937) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatter's Genders From: Abby Sale Murray & MMario: I disagree. I think knowledge of a person's gender significantly retards communication. What it enhances is stereotyping. The "foreknowledge" you glean from knowing a person's gender may well give you an understanding opposit of what that person meant. In 10 years of posting, I've seen dozens of wild misunderstandings from this cause alone - nevermind all the other available causes. The less knowledge of background the fewer assumptions and, I believe, the fewer misinterpretations. And the fewer assumptions made about a person's background and orientation from his/her post, the less likely to reply with assinine responses. IMHO, you know. |

LOL BTW, there is a Climax, CO, also, and no I never did, there. Robin2, raise 'em high, sister! **BG** |
