Gender Poll
Wed, 27 Aug 2003, 08:43 amCraig wonders whether he should add “Other” to the new poll. Until recently, I would have said that he should, however, the recent Old Mill Theatre production of "Breaker Morant" did, we suspect, set some sort of a theatrical record ... 19 blokes ... and all of them straight!
Although I must admit, I was beginning to find one of the cast rather attractive, but she turned out to be the only bird in the cast and reckoned she was straight as well.
For those who worry about this heterosexual imbalance, there may be some comfort in the fact that to a man, the blokes all admitted to being lesbians trapped in male bodies.

Re: Communication and Gender
Wed, 27 Aug 2003, 03:15 pmThank you that incredibly carefully worded comment on my post Craig. You are right about the comic effect of my post being more valuable that it's social comment. I just re-read it and realise I had actually left my point out, or not made it very directly. So here it is again for those who missed it;
Most of the people who contribute to discussions on this website are men. I'm looking at the last few posts on the Green Room Gossip forum and about two thirds of the names are male. You look back at any of the long indepth discussions over the past few month and almost all those contributing their views are male.
We know for a fact that Community theatre is saturated with women. We know that men are as rare as hens teeth and that large casts of men are almost impossible to find. It may even be that the current poll finds that more women than men are visiting this site.
Why then, are the actual discussions dominated (in terms of numbers) by the boys?
PS. Oh and Tony, your comment about my "taking" the house, the furniture and some poor guys shirt does presuppose that they weren't all mine to start with. Something to think about.
