Where's the female view and does it matter?

[wasellajam]

(Without voting for any of the offered candidates) It's pleasant to imagine other participants have genders, including other than those they claim and project.  I've noticed those who project female are more easily upset than the rest, but not exclusively.  This gives the site a certain tone - self-censorship, it could be called.  As Churchill put it, we shape our houses and thereafter they shape us; online, we shape our characters (and the rest follows).

So in answer to the question, the female view is in your head, and it matters.

Great point about being whoever we want to be here and never really knowing for sure who anyone is. You all could be the same person for all I know. I know I'm me and present as much as possible as I am. I know milo exists, though he could be the rest of you too for all I know. That is all I know but I don't dwell on that stuff and just enjoy the site as it is.

Gender is fluid even in real life, and on line I've sure certainly had some surprises. But whether or not the genitals match the on line persona, it seems that to me that the majority of active members right now present as male.

Also, from my view (of course minus the years I was inactive), the members that present as male tend to get upset more easily but that of course is just my opinion vs yours, no biggie. I think members of this site tolerate a lot before they blow up.

As far as gender related view I don't think it's all in our heads. There are chemicals in play from birth through old age that influence how we view and react to life. Each body has its own individual complex balance and we can happily lean into it or fight it.

I don't think we can necessarily predict view based on sexual orientation, I just noticed the similarities in members best movies lists more than I noticed differences. You say it matters, what's a poll option you would have voted for? Sorry I missed it. Thanks for posting here.

I feel like a site with diverse representation gives more comprehensive critique.

Plus it's nice to read a verity of works from different viewpoints.

Thanks for voting, Bunx, great to see you posting.
