Hey, what's the deal? With the "Testosterone Home"? Do you guys even realize what you're saying in there? And how any woman reading it might be made to feel??? And it's so much worse because I do consider some of you friends... Even close friends. Would any of you call a black person a n#gger? Or a retarded person a moron? Or a deformed person a freak? Well, some of the things said in there are just as ugly. And just as hurtful. You may rationalize that it's okay because it's 'just in fun', but hurting other people isn't fun, no matter how you label it!

We started the Ladies Guild because, as Reeka said, there are so few of us female types to you male types... It's hard to try to catch up to eachother, and this was a way to do it. On the first page of both mine and Reeka's thread, we were flamed for it! Don't give me any bullshit answer that it was all in fun and wasn't meant as flaming. Maybe some of you should head on over to TeamBG! From what I've seen over there, this would be a far better place for you! I'm sorry. Yes, I am mad about this. Mad enough to say F#CK IT! And walk away without a backwards glance. But I have too many ties here, and this place has come to mean much to me. I've put up with all the hurt feelings and all the controversy and all the other crap because of this, but I'm thinking that this is just TOO MUCH!

Yah, you can chalk it up to PMS if you want. Call me a bitch 'cause I have the nerve to speak my mind. But at this point I really don't give a shit. I have worked in a man's industry for most of my life. Seeing and knowing and having to deal with my male counter-parts getting sooo much more for their 'C' average effort then I get for my 110% simply because they're male is a reality for me! Something I deal with on a day to day basis! And, no, it's not at all funny! That shit in that thread and the flaming in mine and Reeka's thread isn't funny, gentlemen. It's ugly and it's hurtful. I would say, "Take it over to TeamBG! They will probably worship you for it! We don't want it here!" But why f#cking bother??? I'm outa here!
