    Actually, at the top of the Tower titles would probably look best, regardless.

    Yes, this would be awesome. It should also be the default, and not just an opt-in. And, of course, it shouldn't be a hassle to change them if someone comes out after joining. If it isn't possible to do it below the custom title (because some folx already have a custom title and it would be...

    Gendered SM Forums

    To clarify, I think it would be a good thing to have one, especially since there are folx who have expressed interest. I just don't venture outside of Brown a whole lot, so I don't personally feel a strong need, and probably wouldn't participate much (just like I almost never participate in SM)...

    He did, but Venric and I responded to him. ... as I type this out, I'm realizing that Dnae's and Alyria's posts could have been chiming in on the "yes, it's a thing that's important to us" response to Calen. That makes more sense. Thanks for helping my brain along as it took the scenic route. I...

    I just wanted to make sure folx were all on the same page. So often, when people talk about change, there are those who assume life is a zero-sum game, and that they will lose something if someone else gains. I don't figure either of you are that sort of person, but don't want others to read the...

    As I said at the very beginning, I'm glad y'all support the idea, but where did anyone get the impression that something was going to be taken away from you??? I guess perhaps Alyria got that impression from Dnae's post, but.........??? We do. It's a valid point that some folx might want...

    I intend to, but it has still been worth bringing up. People might not be aware they had that option (as I was not). Also, since starting the thread, several people have told me they didn't even know there WERE gendered forums. As one said, "I thought the men just weren't posting in certain...

    Yup. On mouse-over: I'm glad you all plan to discuss changes! Yes, some folx feel uncomfortable discussing things such as their bodies, relationships, et cetera with other genders. For example, there are threads about menopause, menstrual cups, and pregnancy in the Parlour. Which, it's...

    Gendered SM Forums

    Why am I in one, and how do I get out of it? Once upon a time, this site restricted women to the Aes Sedai path and men to the Gaidin path. There was a Sedai and a Gaidin forum, which were effectively female and male forums. Then integration happened, and those forums were renamed and expressly...
