Pop Culture Woman: Pop Culture Pet Peeve

Pop Culture Pet Peeve

So the past few years I've become a member of several messageboards. This stems from the fact that I mainly work on a computer now and have plenty of downtime in between emails and phone calls to browse the messageboard world. I've browsed plenty of boards and I've come to realize a female presence is very small compared to that of men. I'm sure there are lots of sociological reasons for this, including that woman are watching babies or in jobs that aren't on a computer as much as men. I really have no idea and I don't even want to hypothesize why they are not on them.

My post today is for the woman that ARE on those messageboards and how little I tend to get along with them. Here are my reasons why:

1. Their avatar is that of their boobs/butt. While this is an attention grabber it's also saying "hey, don't respect me."

2. They flirt outrageously in the board threads. This usually throws off the thread topic and makes it extremely uninteresting to read. Unless it's a dating service, use PMs to flirt ladies.

3. They're defensive. Disagree with them and they whine, thus bringing the men that are enamored with their boob avatar to their defense. Also a boring thread read and totally off topic.

Anyway, I thought I would throw that rant out there. It's just a pet peeve of mine and if there is a messageboard that lets the above happen, I'm definitely not a member.
