Could we please stop living under the assumption that everyone here is male?

HailTheLeaf said:

Not everyone who grows marijuana has a penis. Are most of your plants female or male? How about using the same assumption for this board then?

Please stop referring to everyone as "man", or "sir" when replying in posts, it's rather insulting to those of us who aren't...thanks.

Well most of us men are pretty busy draggin' our knuckles around and scratching ourselves in places I won't mention here but I think 13 pages of this b.s. pretty much sums up how you feel. And you used green lettering so I think it's gonna be hard for men (more men are colorblind than women) to read. I think pink letters would be more appropriate (not as masculine as green).

When I first saw this thread, I thought to myself "yeah, it does get a little old..." and thirteen pages later, I'm thinking she whines too much and is making a mountain out of a molehill, and making the rest of us lady growers look bad in the process. Just saying, Miss Hail, sometimes enough is enough.

I will never mistake DoeEyed for a male - too much wisdom! +rep

Hey y'all, I just thought I would throw my two cents in as a female grower who is new to the site. Ok my two cents, "who effing cares" if someone refers to you as a dude, and you aren't a dude. That being said, most of you are cool as hell but some of you guys are total assholes and make me glad that I'm a dyke.

Hahahaha roflmao been lmao this whole thread ......

I never refused to tell anyone, it was never asked...the sex of the plants are only what you need to know here...that's why no one needs to make any assumption.

Dude, and even bro I can just chuckle at, but shit like sir pisses me off, that's all.

I was annoyed when I originally wrote the post, so it came off a bit harsh, I didn't mean to get anyone's panties in a bunch.

Stonefish said:

LOL - Yes, but even if you say it a few times, nobody remembers anyway. I'm a chick, and guys on here constantly refer to me as "dude" or "man" or some other masculine moniker. Tried to correct a few posters myself early on, but to be honest it doesn't bother me in the least. That's pretty much why I stopped correcting people. Who cares whether or not you are a chick or a dude? Aren't we all just here to learn how to grow MJ?

Hate to say it OP, but you are being overly sensitive. To the guys reacting like children...well, you get back what you put out.

Click to expand...

Hahaha ..u r talkin to stoners on here .. of course they forget

yup what u put out there comes back

HailTheLeaf said:

No one ever asked, and this isn't the sort of site where it's wise to be forthcoming with identifying information. There's never been any reason to mention it other than people repeatedly referring to me as a male, which you'd all find rather insulting if the coin were flipped.

I'm a guy and proud of it .. don't care who knows it ... doesn't tip off WHO I am or my address .................................

HailTheLeaf said:

Wow, you guys really have this all figured out, I'm on a marijuana growing board looking for drama and attention by asking that people show me the same respect they would anyone else by not assuming sex in posts and responses...and it's just such an emotional testosterone affair. Are you all in the 6th grade or something?

give us clue that u r not a guy..... or we will prob'ly talk to u like a guy

Ok, my "image" is of a female plant...how is this in any way masculine or confusing?

:-/............... 2 me it doesn't mean ur a girl

HailTheLeaf said:

I'd actually assume the opposite since men aren't traditionally known to be into gardening...you don't really see throngs of men swamping garden centers in the spring with their floral print capri pants and stylish sun hats.

know many lady farmers ?

HailTheLeaf said:

How am I to know any of you are boys? Other than the completely jackass responses some of you have...Should I start referring to everyone as "Miss" and "ma'am" just because I'm not sure?

Missing the point entirely...you don't need to know that I'm a girl to assume that half the people on here may well be female...and inexplicably you assume everyone is male.

HailTheLeaf said:

Eh, let's put it this way...how would you feel if people replied to most of your posts here referring to you as "ma'am" or "girlfriend"? ....for months and months, and months...

HailTheLeaf said:

Wow, such mature responses and understanding...some of you are as useless as the males in a garden...

Without males there'd be no females ... even if u choose to toss 'em out

highaltitude said:

It would be completely wrong to assume a 50/50 make-up of gender, when it comes to growing. I must assume based on your thread, that you are female - but how many female growers do you know?
I know none - and lots of male growers. It's way cool that girls grow, but instead of feeling insulted, why don't you just make some form of hint to your gender, so that we can respond properly. Gal, girl, woman - what it may be. Of course we'll all assume growers are male, because that's probably true for 90% or better. the only way you can change that, is to get all your girlfriends to start growing. Welcome to you all.

I love girls .... shjeeeesh my Mom was one ... and she was lady !


... how long I been on here ? I must be Roland Stoned ... haha

Thanx for the laughs HailtotheLeaf ... (sounds like Hail to the CHIEF ) ..? ,,... (any implication in Chief ? .... guess not)

Se ya CHIEF

really this thread should b closed, it's COMPLETELY pointless, just another noob ranting on.

Sex doesn't matter here, nor does race, creed, or any of that other shit, this isn't myspace or moronbook or whatever stupid gov spy tool site you use for your personal space.

actually phenom, i think sex does matter here as it does in the grow scene in general and in life.

walk into any hydro shop in the country and ask the clerk (who may, in fact, be female) if more guys or gals shop there... we all know the emphatic answer to that.

sex here matters because it matters everywhere. its a basic and potentially profound difference between humans; whether its caused by physiology, society, or desire it still is a basic occurence. sex shifts ones perspective through communication and general life experience. this difference is neutral, individuals make it positive or negative. on RIU we all should work together as a pleasent community of weed barons, but the oppressed (and very small) minority has no deserved right for this sausage party to get all politically correct just for the small amount of (albeit awesome) chicks who grow. with all respect to the woman who started this thread, its just embarrasingly simple really.

i do however agree that this thread is rife with noobery.

It's akin to a doctor being on RIU and getting mad at people for not instinctively knowing that s/he's a doctor.

"Could we please stop assuming that everyone on RIU isn't a doctor?"

I mean, c'mon.

oh man this thread was a good one...

that time of the month huh??

yo baby, yo baby, yo baby yo!! sorry just had to say that.

dont let these guys get to you baby doll. if you feelin' to hot, just take off all yo clothes, i am gettin so hot, i wanna take my clothes off, let it hang all out. ok now im done. sorry

HailTheLeaf said:

I haven't seen the majority identify themselves as anything, since it really doesn't matter, this isn't a dating site. The jackass responses are indicative of being males as the majority dismiss my request as "pms", "an angry woman", or refer to tampons. All sexist. Not really something females would reply with is it?

Click to expand...

You proved my point. Males are more likely to say those things. So what do think the chances of males replying first being random is?

There is nothing sexist about accusing someone of suffering from a hormonal issue that is very real. It's justifiable in a lot of cases, not necessarily your's though. I don't see how "an angry woman" is more sexist than "an angry man". The tampon comments are indeed sexist, but you started attacking guy's first and wasn't too respectful in your initial request.

everyone on the interwebs is a guy. anyone that says they are a chick is a god damned liar... just my opinion.

Why not change your name to MRS. HAIL THE LEAF?

so wait a minute... I've been referring to everyone on this board as female, you mean most of you are males? Also usually when i am stoned eveyone is dude to me regardless of gender

At RIU your name is your name, it cannot be changed can it?

LOL,

Oops,

I can't imagine how many times I've personally "said" dude, man, ... to you on here !!!

You knew I only have good intentions and that's why you never called me out on it..


Let me just say, I am Sorry !!

LOFL !!

Peace and maybe we smok'em Peace Pipe !!

Unless a female states in her screenname ( ?? Hail to the Chick ??) it is assumed that they are male.. most (especially 30 yo plus) females are against weed though..so, it's a valid assumption !!
