I think maybe the number of posts started by women about matches the ratio of women vs men in general here? This place is a complete sausage party!
There is also the possibility that women in general are more "thoughtful" or "careful" about what requires a whole thread?? Maybe, but I guess it's impossible to know for sure.
But FWIW, I have started a fair number of threads here over the years, so hopefully I'm padding the stats at least a little bit.
PJ_Soul has started 203 discussions! We have some serious work to do ladies. PJ_Soul has been doing the heavy lifting.
That’s fantastic... also a bit intimidating... doubt I’ll get to that level.
So, where are we? @ OffSheGoes35 Did you start a new thread? @ JPPJ84 Apollo 11 is a great idea! I’ll only say here, that I watched CNN’s first airing.
Very cool, Renfield! And I think JPPJ84 should start that Apollo thread too. People will post in that thread. 👍

She’s sleeping, we’ll get her in the morning
Not only is the topic historical & interesting, there are many ways the thread can zig & zag.

Good morning ladies! Yikes it’s still early here... I can’t start a thread right now, I have to go on holiday... what a terrible fate

I think more threads started by the ladies would be cool- keep the place hopin' and more interesting. And it would, you know, stave off dementia by keeping the mind sharp!

@JPPJ84. Have a wonderful time! Here’s something to read during your holiday travels
Honestly, gender plays no part in whether or not I start threads. There's no one here who intimidates me
(and I too rolled my eyes at "custom"...what does that even mean?)
trust me, I've "known" this woman for a long time, and nothing intimidates her. Hi Hedo I believe the polls have shown that the males outrank the number of woman PJ fans. IMO, threads get derailed on this forum in a hot second. So it could deter the "female" poster to just not bother even trying.
Don't come closer or I'll have to go

That's a bummer. I think it would be cool to have more ladies here, more lady initiated threads, and fewer derailments.

I agree 100%. I've been around for years. Not to say that the ladies can't have fun, but I believe, as a woman, if we want to start a thread, it's often due to a serious heartfelt issue. As I said, I've been around for years, there are a lot of members that I seek opinions about things. However, my experience here has been if you try to open a conversation about something somewhat serious, the thread is either ignored or gets derailed. And once it's derailed . . . why bother. I know this is a PJ forum but over the years we have come to rely on each other to vent, to find support. It's just not the same. I have life long friends that I met via the old forums, and I cherish them. People I met through this (or former PJ forums) that I have known for close to 20 years. I've done PJ road trips with them, traveled on vacation with them. That's what I miss about this place. Maybe I should start a thread about that, lol. Alas, I fear it will be ignored.

Well thank you, I’ll read that on the train! My flight got cancelled last night because it got too late. I got one of the last tickets for another flight today from a city an hour away. Fingers crossed that works out!!

I would love to see any thread about a serious heartfelt issue. I'm there!

It is strange, to me, that someone would care if someone tried to turn their thread into a love note to Kiss, or a weird missive from their mother's basement....you posted what you were thinking about and got some sort of feedback, no? (Course, I haven't started a lot of threads. As I think about it, the people that start the most often have the least to say?)
Awesome that you have made so many friends. I too have many "real life" friends that started as names on this board. (Nobody puts Hedo in a corner! Lol). Some great people here, amongst some turds in the punch bowl.

Hi, P&E!
Some derailments have turned out great / funny, but not so much on heavier topics (minus the stereotypical trolls who just enjoy taking huge digital dumps wherever and whenever possible - that's when I try to laugh and point ).
And yes, as you and F Me mentioned, some of the connections made here are tremendous, even life-changing. I'm very thankful to this forum and "my" people for that

Oh believe me, there have been some hilarious times on these boards. I don't come around that much anymore but when I do, it doesn't feel the same. Still love the band, love going to shows, love meeting new people. That's the one thing about this band, it doesn't matter when you encounter someone at a show, for the most part, the band is the connection and people are so kind, you could end up hanging out all night with someone you just met two hours before.

Don't be intimidated - it is really just evidence of me not being able to keep my trap shut.
