If guys want to pant like dogs after every user who puts up a girl's name and posts a pretty picture than be my guest. Do so at your own risk. If you treat people with respect and not as objects then there shouldn't be a problem. But I don't think every female name that appears should be mocked, insulted and called a liar. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Oh well. You can lead a kid to knowledge but you can't make them think. Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.

As John has pointed out, it's not that she/he/it's female. It's simply that she/he/it made a crap post. And given that we have had many experiences with males pretending to be females, that's why, in our opinion, it's a guilty until proven innocent situation. Remember, this is not a legal system, this is a system of our opinions and ideas. There is no need to be fair and just, simply accurate.

<>What about girls or gays pretending to be guys. Did you noticed that? The answer is NO, because guys with names that is obviously male were easily accepted here, while if the name sounds like a girl...gets insulted and teased by some of the guys here which is inapppropriate.. You're absoluetely clueless. We had a number of people post messages pretending to be a female. You're apparently another one. You weren't insulted for being a female (if you are indeed one). You were insulted because of the message you posted. As I stated earlier, your reading comprehensions skills lack sufficient development to distinguish the difference. Besides that, everyone gets insulted and teased here. Get used to it - it's a public forum. we doesn't deserved that kind of treatment.. But you asked for it. Girls who want to be a part of CP gets intimidated by some of the guys here.. Well, I guess that's the reason why there's a small portion of female here in CP.. No, the reason there's such a small percentage of females here is that it reflects the general demographics of the programming trade. See? You're clueless and think you deserve better treatment than other people. it's a really a male denomination site... No, "dominated" is the word you're looking for, and that's a fact. But it's not because it's a great big boy's club - we didn't come here because there weren't any/many chicks. We came here because we can get our programming questions answered and get free code. Chris provides the lounge and the soapbox for discussions like this that do not pertiain to programming. I don't know why some of the guys here feel Superior about themselves... We don't feel "superior". I don't know where that came from. If somebody doesn't like the post, then just ignored it.. Oh yeah, like THAT'S gonna happen. or make your own thread, respect others work.. Your post had NOTHING TO DO WITH "WORK". Is it really a big deal if a "real" girl or guy or gay posts the message? NO, What matter is how he/she/it shared his/her/its point of view.. I can't see any restrictions or rules that shouldn't be a topic... Yes it is a big deal if someone claims they're something that they are not. Life's a bitch, and it ain't fair, but you gotta learn to live within the rules and expectations of the society in which you participate. Besides that, how can anyone trust you if they can't be sure that you're not being truthful about your own identity? A
Well said!

However, since it's merely an opinion I think Samantha can safely disregard it as such. Domenic [_Geek_n] wrote: Remember, this is not a legal system, this is a system of our opinions and ideas. I was speaking in terms of the ideals that our legal system is based on. The ability to allow someone freedom of expression without dismissing them as unworthy, and attacking them for having spoken. The issue is extending people the common courtesy out of the same ideals that give us our freedom to our own opinions and ideas in the first place. But to each his own, right? No sense fighting over it. Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.
