what about the tree woman?

Treegirl, are you asking for a new discussion forum?Anyone else out there want one? If so, what should we name it?

PS. All opinions are welcome here.

Like others have said, there never has been any talk of limiting participation or singling out any one because of anything on the politically correct list. If you have a keyboard, you're welcome.

If there is something that Treegirl wants to talk about, say it. She can't figure out why guys need all of the gear. The best that I can guess is that it fits with the old saying about men and boys, the only difference is the price of their toys, er, tools. How many biners do I need, just one more. If the new ICS biners are good, I'll probably be replacing a few of my current biners.

Another explanation is that its a Venus and Mars thing and no one really knows.

I can't see a reason to start a seperate forum for "women's" talk. How can it be any different than what's going on now?

WTF just happened? Sounds like this chick needs a hobby. 'Woman's input' on what? Last I heard, this was a treeclimber's site, not a 'girlfriend's discussions on life and various topics not remotely related to the care of trees' site.

Come join in any tree care related topic you'd like, chick. But leave the relationship discussions for your gossip sites.

It would have been a good experience if you kept your women's lib mouth shut. Get bent

Great spelling by the way, wnated?, don't become a school teacher.

I'm sorry to hear that. A woman's input might be of help, but she's gonna have to have a thick skin to participate here. Actually, I think that's true in just about every internet discussion I've seen. This is a business that traditionally has been all male, and, as you've seen, there's still room for a lot of enlightenment among our brethren. You can give up and leave, or you can try to turn on the lights. It's up to you. Nobody will stop you from posting anything you want to say.

I hope you'll reconsider, and ignore the inevitable boy's-room mentality to say what you've got to say.

i dont think anybody ever had a problem on this sight as far as which gender was involved . from my take on it the only one who had a problem was you . the only time that the issue ever came up was when you brought it up . this site is a great place for a lot of people in our industry to talk shop and get answers on a lot of important issues that otherwise would not be discussed if it were not for the internet and the good people who put this sight together . it also allows a lot of people to get to know and become freinds with each other that without this forum would not even know each other exists . i can also say that until you blessed us with your existance i can not recall anyone ever making child like remarks about spelling errors like you have and could those spelling errors possibly be a minor lapse of muscular coordination and not the cause of some persons abillity to spell correctly. but on that note i agree with every other person on this site and would never tell anybody to tune out and stop posting but if that is your attitude and all you can bring to this forum i say good riddens and go back and crawl under that blow dryer you came from under. and your old world attitude you have only fuels the fire that makes it hard for every good woman on this planet to overcome . because if men and women are equal then why should it ever have to make a conversation . why ? because fools like you just like to keep on kicking the dead dog because your stuck in your miserable little existance and instead of doing something about it you just take it out on everybody else. and that will be my only post on this ridiculous topic. next!!!!

Well, what have we here? I would like to re-state all of the good in these posts. This site is for ALL who are interested. I agree that we could and maybe should disagree from time to time-just remember to do it appropriately.

Personal attacks are not appropriate here. If you diagree, disagree with the point of view, but not the person. I don't like the idea that someone will feel like they have been "ganged up on". Like I said, all are welcome.

Spelling is not an issue, and to me, childish. I know that I make type-o's all of the time. Afterall, I just finished a long day of tree climbing. I'm beat. It is family time for me.

Don't hold back your feelings here, just remember that it should be addressed in a professional manner, this is a professional based site. There is no gender issue here. I would love to hear from as many points of view as possible on every topic. Let's be respectful and do like Bluefin says and move on. Back to the treetalk!

Gee, came in like a tornado and left like one. Thats to bad. (Really) I was hoping to kind of hear some of her views.Always interesting to hear what the other halves thoughts are. Do you guys really know how how your wives feel, when your out climbing all day? or doing hazardouse work ? Do you tell her about the close ones? , or do you keep them to yourself, so not to make her worry.HMMMMMM ?.........

I just wanted to say that since the first reply I made on this site..most of you have done nothing but bash me. What my other half does for a living to me is scary as hell. I worry all the time. I know he knows what he is doing, but what if someone else makes a mistake and he gets hurt? I do not know alot about the equipment you use or things like that, But I am willing to learn. I like going ot the competitions and seeing other guys climb and how the use the equipment.I do have to give all of you climbers credit. You have a very dangerous job.
 
i know i said i would not make any more posts on this matter . but i saw that the treegirl replied and based on her response i would like to say that i was not bashing you i was simply making a remark based on one of your last posts that seemed you had a real problem with this site and or some of the people on this site . so my response was based on the attitude conveyed by your post . but if i was incorrect on my take on your attitude and that was not your intention then for that i am sorry . but if you would like to keep on posting i myself will and would welcome anybody male or female with open arms to share in conversation on all the topics related to this site . so if you can look beyond some of the remarks previously made and take them with a grain of salt i would like to say welcome back and we all can enjoy in the future in sharing each others veiws and opinions . but all i would ask is you or anybody else to keep gender issues off this site because we can all learn from everybody male or female because those topics only produce negative feedback and i like this site for all the positive veiws it has to offer and i think you to will see it that way to if you keep participating . because in a forum like this the more veiws shared the better we can make this industry for all the people who work in it as well as all the family connected to the people who work in it .

Some people will always view a request for a segregated subdivision as a sense of entitlement. Some of those will go off on a tirade.

I think the real answer to your original question lies in the other topic you started about tree days, which got cordial responses with no bashing or personal attacks. If you want to post, you're welcome, but I think everyone is tired of this particular thread. Let's get back to talking about trees.

I think we wore this topic out. I would really like to hear what tree girl has to say or ask. I am just wondering what the delay is. If you have something to say you are more than welcome to say it here.
