Prog Ladies M.I.A.? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Ermm Most women don't seem to last here. I don't want to offend any of the "fairer sex" with this generalization, but females in general seem far less obsessive about computer use (and prog, for that matter) than we males can be.

I can't speak for 3F, but FW tends to post only in the Collaborators' zone -- the (then) prevailing nastiness, immaturity and prog metal bashing (as opposed to simple good-natured teasing) on the main forums got to her.

I can certainly sympathize, though things seem to have much improved of late Thumbs Up , with one or two notable, idiotic exceptions (eg, 4th of July thread Maani bashing). Thumbs Down

So be nice and gentlemanly to our few females, lads -- we need their perspective, and (often) calming, moderating influence here! Stern Smile (Plus, some of these shut-in progholes have never had the opportunity/courage to talk to a real living, breathing woman before!) LOL

Sorry, guys -- I'm no lady, but I am in touch with my sensitive side.

(In fact, I'm touching it now....) Wink

Ha!

Petra is all too rare on the forum (i think Velv is keeping her to himself)

Have not read much from Shrinking Violet either.

And Lise (Hibou) is also rather absent.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

(Since Prog Ladies are such a rare and cherished thing...)

Haven't seen 3F8's and FloydWright post in a while. They on holidays? Are there any other Prog Ladies left on the Archives, or have we gotten rid of them all already?

Marmalade...I like marmalade.

	If it helps, think of me as a lady...

	I'm still waiting to find my hot brunette bombshell who enjoys a little SEBTP or TFTO or even a little Hatfield and the North. Where oh where is she?
	I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?
