Scooby,
I've completely changed my mind. Let's close women's fitness.
I see too many posts from men without reading or understanding women's issues.
I cannot put up with them any more. And what's good about having a women's fitness board when nosy impolite guys make comments???
You can keep it open but I'm walking away. I'm fully fed up.
Re-reading the thread I think Omatsu's reaction has nothing to do with this thread specifically.
One needs to remember that the average forum user here is a guy in his late teens or early 20s, and as such likely has some naivete to work out about the opposite sex, and probably life in general. Most have good intentions.
One also needs to remember that this is the internet. That is:
The internet is full of people who will post without thinking, are trying to help but are woefully uninformed, and outright trolls. That is the nature of the beast. I would maintain that we keep this forum as one of the most friendly and polite that exists for bodybuilding and fitness.
Anyway, I still believe we should keep this board open, even with its low traffic. There are specific issues that belong here, like as someone mentioned
picking a good sports bra. That's something that a man who's never worn one couldn't really answer. The best I can do there is provide a link to someone who knows what they're talking about. I can still respond to the question in a helpful way, even though I know nothing personally.
In general, a woman can and should work out like a man with similar goals. Therefore she would probably get the best responses posting questions in the appropriate parts of the forum. Likewise,
everyone should steer clear of offtopic, for their sanity
