You are asking to get your ears boxed before the day is out, young man.

No, I don't tread more carefully when replying to females. I think it's a very outmoded attitude. They're not delicate flowers who swoon if spoken to indelicately and then have to be brought 'round with smelling-salts.

As for the "gentlemanly" aspect of dealing with females it's not as if I swear or use crude innuendo in any online forums whatsoever. Gender is immaterial. I just don't do it.

Re: Gentlemen

Apologies. Slightly off-topic, but I hope my question may still be answered.

Why are we limited only to the little 'Mars' and 'Venus' symbols in the header of our posts?

According to what I have read, there are now literally dozens of genders and variations of same, yet apparently we have only male and female members on the forum.

I agree with you, Tachyon. A few of the females regularly post with a couple of icons beating up the males with sticks and punches. It is kinda brutal, regardless if it's in fun or jest. However, it does level the playing field....if, the lady chooses to play that way.

Not me. Nuh uh...no way.

Hmmm ... what would you suggest for a sausage jockey?

We can't help but "mansplain" Mups. We're genetically wired that way.
