Message: [QUOTE="StormRaven, post: 1127383, member: 53047"] I will probably respond to several posts. There are several that really need addressing, if you are annoyed by this, tough. If you feel threatened by this, good. First of all, I am a [B][I][U]woman[/U][/I][/B], I am not a [B][I][U]girl.[/U][/I][/B] For those of you who refer to women as "girls" you are either consciously or subconsciously disrespecting all adult females. How do you adult men like being referred to as a "boy"? Especially when used in a consciously demeaning manner? When I have witnessed this, the response is usually the same: to show your obvious dislike at the "boy" reference the males will usually stand up a little straighter, square off their shoulders a bit and puff out their chests. The majority of the time the first verbal response is "who are you calling a boy?". So let's cut out the "girl" reference. There are many great responses to this post, most of which refer to not caring if their opponent is male or female or recoginizing the "technical" aspects of their own play in regards to a female vs a male opponent. By this latter I am referencing those that recognize they don't know how to read females, or often respect raise/reraises by a female player vs male player because they believe females are more solid than their typical male counter-parts. If you are trying to get a female perspective on their personal experiences playing poker as a female, or, a males' perspective if they've encountered differing methodologies while playing poker with females vs other males, then perhaps a revision in the way you've asked your question would be in order. While I am recognizing your intent and attempt of a positive outlook to the subject matter, just like irl, tone can make a huge difference in how a statement is interpreted. Too late, it's on! LOL! :p A bit insecure are we? Does the thought of a female outplaying you totally emasculate you? You're attitude is terrible. It's sexest, discriminating and demeaning. I guess it's okay if a female plays poker as long as she doesn't have the nerve to play well against you? You man, me woman, ugg. Where's the bat and cave? If you had the nerve to say that to me face to face I would embarass you to no end, belittle you to the point of you wanting to curl up in the fetus position sucking your thumb and crying for mommy. Only I would stand over you and yell "Who's your momma now b*tch!?!". Then I'd roll up my sleeves and give you a good 'ole fashioned ass whooping. You make me sick. :mad: You bet your sweet ass we are! :cool: Yes we all do, quick, give us all your money now or we'll chase you around and give you the cooties to! LOL! :D [/QUOTE]
