    Default What are the rules??????

    Can guys post in the womens forum? I was told that they have a real "womens secret forum" that we can't get into. So if anything is in the general forum/thread area does that mean they want male input. (No grief please I mean about packs, rain gear etc) I did think this one was cute though

    Default personal Safety (not from bears)
    We are group of women hiking for couple days starting this weekend and wondering if it is safe for us to do.

    Hang a sign on your pack:

    "Looking For Hardworking Husbands"

    I doubt you'll have any trouble outta the trail mix you'll encounter.

    I am learning to look for- 1) color of post, 2) date ( to see If LW has brought an old thread to life) 3) which trail 4) .................. but still not sure about the RED (PINK - MAGENTA - ?????) forum.

    Thanks

    The sticky for the forum is still valid.

    The background color change is used to indicate a forum with additional rules.

    While I would defer to the Croc for specifics,
    From a very broad perspective,
    1. Yes Men Can post there.
    2. Buckwheat's post was pretty lame and sexist.

    Consider the women's forum the same as the straight forward forum...don't post unless you are on topic and can add to the discussion
    The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us

    Gotcha. Didn't realize it was a "woman's forum."

    My post was meant to be lightly humourous, not sexist, and in any event pokes fun at lazy men, not women.

    For the men of Whiteblaze to complain about needing their own forum is like children asking where there isn't a Children's Day, like Mother's Day and Father's Day. The parental response is, "Every day is Children's Day."

    Every forum on Whiteblaze is a Men's Forum.
    If not NOW, then WHEN?
