dawoco Posted August 3, 2004 Viking, bro ur thinking about it too hard. The womens section is used by our male nomads on an equal basis, so it isn't a place for women alone. And as many people pointed out, what would you guys talk about in a men's section? If it is a place to ponder ideas, to discuss the world issues and the latest development of the FA scandal...There are sections allocated for exactly those purposes... Why do you want a men's section? Or is ir merely because there is a women's section and u deem that unfair? lol Boolbaro qori is mariska iska dhaaf Reminds me of a tale that ayeeyo used to tell me about waraabe dadoow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viking Posted August 4, 2004 dawoco and the rest, You are all falling for the stereotype; men should talk sports and politics while women should keep to relationships, love, romance and family issues. Why should men be directed to the sports (or politics) section and women to a 'women's' section? I am not for erasing the gender differences, but not every man is into sports and not every woman is a romantic, family oriented person. If someone would like to raise some MALE issues... like let's say... 'problems Somali men are facing in the western world', where does the person post it? Under chit-chat general, women or sports? I am not looking to revolutionise SOL but merely asking a genuine question. Why have a women's if and not a men's section? Is it only women who have issues (because that would be very jigoistic to say)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted August 4, 2004 Hello Viking, No it isnt only women who have issues. On the contrary, issues to do with Somali women are well researched, tackled and documented while little attention is paid to the almost acute problems facing Somali males (especially young men). Therefore, in this context, I would say a men's forum is presently needed more than a women's. I don't think anyone would mind if such a forum was created either. I suspect the lack of such a section on SOL has more to do with space problems than anything else. Any suggestions for a solution? Maybe the 'Women's' forum could be renamed 'Social Problems' or 'Gender-specific Issues', thus eliminating any neglect male nomads may feel while at the same time saving server-space. Whatcha think?

NGONGE Posted August 4, 2004 Let there be you, Let there be me. Let there be oysters Under the sea. Let there be wind, An occassional rain. Chile con carne, Sparkling champagne -- Let there be birds To sing in the trees, Someone to bless me Whenever I sneeze. Let there be cuckoos, A lark and a dove, But first of all, please -- Let there be a men’s section Let there be sheeko, mouran eyo dagaal Let there be a place we call maqaaxi... ** Walks away singing to himself ** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheherazade Posted August 5, 2004 Let them have one. Far too many of them are in jail or suffering from mental illness or both. They have plenty to talk about. A more remote way of discussing their issues may alleviate someone's distress or confusion. I'm all for talking without chewing. Although, darn it, there is no guarantee that the responses will not be qat-fuelled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dawoco Posted August 5, 2004 Viking, i think you have a good case against the admin for sexism in its most unusual form, against men :rolleyes: Bro, what ever issues you have or may wish to discuss, god knows, laakinse i sincerely apologise for my unfounded assumption that men only talk about sports. Did i say sincerely? gotta change that to cordially* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viking Posted August 5, 2004 Aeryn Sun, There's a lot of male issues to discuss but there isn't a place to do it. If the issue is i.e. qaad, it will be seen as whining when taken up in the women's section, don't you think? Imagine 'women issues' like hijab, pregnancy etc being discussed in a men's section or not having a section to discuss it. Isn't that a bit peculiar? My suggestions? It would be better to rename the women's section something else if the problem is space. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
