Thanks...  | OMG... that is funny. My husband wouldn't say it either, but he has long since learned to not look over my shoulder as I type online! Much too stressful for him to even inquire! LOL | |

| How about a men's section and then creating a subforum for women? 
But really, are there really enough differences between women's and men's fencing to warrant a whole new section? You can only talk about chest protectors and not having to wear cups for so long. The other sections make sense, as renn. faire fencing is quite a distance from sport fencing in terms of pretty much everything. We don't really have many WOMEN ONLY topics that pop up, so I would think the women's section would be a fun novelty for a bit and then by and large a dead zone. | |

Never do that, you'll be sorry some time!

| So a husband and wife were discussing their next vehicle purchase.
He wanted a truck, she wanted a sportscar.
He wanted the vehicle to be work-related, she wanted high-performance.
He wanted slow and steady, she wanted something that went 0-200 in an instant.
So he bought her a bathroom scale.
She still hasn't revealed where the body is buried.

| Aren't these already standard? "Men would learn phrases like: "I'm sorry", "I love you", "You're beautiful", "Of course you don't look fat in that outfit". "
oh, and what about this? Does that mean that society hasn't really changed since then? Or does that mean that women have become easier to understand? "This page was last updated August 1, 1998. "
(all of the above related to Goofy's link)
I'm going to vacuum now, since I have no man in my household I could delegate it to.

| Actually, there is one six-word phrase every male needs to know and use:
'Yes, dear, what was I thinking.'

Of course, having a women's section to discuss such matters is akin to purdah It's more fun to disgust the guys in public. | What's disgusting about menopause? Isn't that the hesitation guys make when their significant other asks them "Honey, do these jeans make me look fat?"
Hot flashes are the feeling a man gets when he realizes he's forgotten their anniversary for the second year in a row.
There's nothing disgusting about these natural occurrences.

| Heck, honey. *I* don't find them disgusting. But they seem to unnerve the guys when I mentioned them. I've had absorbing conversations about such things with faculty colleagues, and looked up to realize the guys have picked up and left, acting squeamish.
That's not to say a male colleague wasn't my biggest help when I had to have a breast lump removed. And my best conversation about taking care of elderly parents was with a guy--the elementary phys ed coach. But both of them have been married even longer than I have, so they've had some experience dealing with issues traditionaly relegated to the female sphere of conversation.

I do all the vacuuming at my place, and I take a great deal of pride in my work. The trick is to wait for about two or three months between vacuums, so it really sounds like it's working, lots of stuff going clackety-clack through the hose...
