I'll admit for awhile being a bit baffled as to what the point of this section is. I thought the original intent was to provide the men of TAM a virtual man cave to come and be ourselves; shoot the ****, speak from our collective perspective, a place to voice ourselves a bit more unencumbered than we do in more mixed company elsewhere on the board. In the ongoing battle between the sexes I think the Clubhouse and Lounge are inspired ideas.
The reality isn't really panning out that way from what I can see. Seems a good percentage of the threads around here are created by women, for varied reasons and agendas.
This has me thinking about further reaching implications well beyond the social microcosm that is TAM. It seems what's happening here is just a small scale reflection of greater western societal shifts that see once male dominated, homosocial spaces being increasingly challenged to become more gender inclusive and accepting.
How important are homo-social activities, and environments, to you personally? Do you think the classic "no girls allowed" matra still holds any great significance in an increasingly heterosocial society?
