Quite correct, Huck. Many of my posts and queries generate a good deal of discussion, so I'm not inclined to say that posts by women are ignored. I would think that discussion is based on content, not on the gender of the poster. If someone feels their post is being ignored, then I would first suggest looking into its content or the style of writing before attributing it to other factors such as gender.
Why is this a male dominated forum? I would guess that it is simply that the role of the man requires a broader range of skills than the woman on average. Thus, they have more things to talk about. That's not to say that women don't do their work, but less women do the work than men. That is my observation, anyway.

I doubt it would even occur to her to think that--if she has something to say, she just posts it and is not particularly concerned about whether or not someone responds. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
