Not hating, just stating. I don't differentiate a discussion on a message board by what's in somebody's pants. All things considered, I don't consider what's in somebody's pants in anything besides... Well, I'm sure we can guess.
Harmless discussion point, sure. Still just seems like asking "Who likes the colour purple?" - at the end of the day, the results mean nothing.
us stating that we're female isn't changing how people treat us, as far as we can tell. everyone is still acting and replying the same as they would.
the same can be said for topics like "what's your favorite game?" "what's your least favorite game?" "what's your favorite pokemon?" they're generic topics used to get a feel of what a member is like, and pretty common, especially in a forum that just started. no one's said anything about those topics (albeit because it's a gaming forum), but if i were to, i would get the same reaction you're getting now. it's best to just leave it be and let the members take care of it. the more you take from them, the more unhappy they'll be and they'll leave. we get a shitload of activity, but every visit, every click counts. let them have their topics, and you could aid them by just going along with it and posting.
