Women participants in the lounge?

Are there any active women participants in the Lounge? Or is it only we men who have a funny bone? ;P

Very few. Why not hire few chicks to counter this imbalanced sex ratio in the lounge. Their full time responsibility would be to cheer for the loungers. :-O

Well, I might ask the question another way: (and not nearly pithily-wittily-zenly as your way of asking it) ... ... is it only (we) men who create virtual locker-rooms reeking of machismo testo-sweat, frequent references to weapons, and fantasias of weapon-play embodying a certain homeo-erotic or masturbatory phallic-sensuality, homicide, frequent denigration of other cultures, religions, gender-orientations, and races, crude wink-wink-nudge sexual jokes focused on female breasts and sexual organs, and boasting which is the verbal equivalent of male-dominance display in gorillas by chest-pounding and screaming ? mmm ... did I leave out ritually sadistic "gauntlet-running" for newcomers who stumble in and ask the wrong kind of question ? And what about vendettas ? Now, if it were the case that the Lounge is even vaguely-gnarly-reflected in the fun-house-mirror of the above pseudo-Einsteinian-gedanken-as-channeled-through-Groucho-Marx-and-Camille-Paglia, and if there is a basis for the assumption that most technically competent women, who might be logical candidates for participation in the Lounge, have essentially "better tastes" than an urge to wallow in the still-mushy striated alluvial deposits of ancient-to-fresh coprolites ... Well you draw (as you will, and as you must) ... your own conclusion. I like the Lounge, and enjoy it ! ... la vie humaine ... has equally merde and transcendence ? Diamonds there be in the slurry ! Up to chest-level extra-heavy waders, or Haz-Mat suits, useful. :) best, Bill

Yes, CP is lacking in women in general. During the last 3 years I have been really active and completely off the grid for several months. We have some regular women in other countries, but I think I've been one of the main ones from the US.

I only wish I could do that in reverse. Bill has a neat writing style.

Corinna, Leckey, Ali, Elaine, Anna-Jayne, Smitha. And of course Joan (who is in fact a man, but that's a secret).

In school I was good at précis writing... but you are good at doing the exact reverse. ;P
