Thank you, Carlin.  I have not posted any pictures because of these issues.  I loved the fact that woman could share and show other women that no pussy is ugly or more beautiful, just different, but after reading so many comments left on other peoples submissions, I decided I did not want to become the object of some mans masturbation session, and for free to boot :)

I've always enjoyed reading and hearing from men on this board, but it did seem that many were here for the wrong reason and I'm glad to see we're back on track with the original idea of why this board exist.

Dear Carlin,

An incredibly difficult set of judgements to make. There aren't nearly enough safe spaces for women to discuss feminism and sexuality and even fewer spaces where men can do the same in solidarity with women. I've never much liked separatism but certainly see how essential it's been to prevent an almost inevitable slide back to the status quo of power-relations. From that perspective, I think you and Betty are extremely brave to keep pioneering pan-sexual exposure in the face of such practically problematic perceptions. The more I think about it the more impressed I am with what you're attempting and all the difficulties it entails; for what it's worth, this man is very grateful to have the opportunity to participate.

somewhat awestruck,

best wishes,

I feel like I'm throwing a house party and people are crashing.  Now, I can either station security at the front door and weed out the crowd or I can eject people as problems arise. 

Until I can beef up the screening process, you can always report a user to me directly by using our "contact us" email address with the offending person's username.  That goes directly to me and I read every email personally.  Please don't hesitate.  And if you want me to delete any comments on your pics or posts in reply to yours let me know. 

This community is first and foremost a place for women to share, discuss, debate, etc all the issues that we face because of our gender in a supportive environment.  It is also a place for us to be open about our sexuality BECAUSE WE CAN'T ANYWHERE ELSE.  I feel like we need the Pink Ladies to police this forum.

However, we are inclusive and that means that men can join the party but you must all know that this isn't about you at all.  You have a million other sites to hit to get your rocks off and objectify women.  If you want to cat call and play dominance games then go to adultfriendfinder or playboy.com and pay for the privilege. 

New Rules: Any person sexually harassing, making comments in bad taste, propositioning, talking about how they want to fuck our pussies, or being just plain lame will be barred from this forum forever if I get 1 complaint.

So if you have been assaulted by piggery on this board please send me the username of the offending individual and I will start banning people. 

I've been running this board for over 5 years and I've never had the problems I'm having here.  If pictures of female genitalia and frank sexual discussions are too much for you to handle then get the FUCK OFF OUR BOARD.

Dear Ms Moonlight,

I too have been posting less frequently and looking in from the sidelines for similar reasons. It's not that Betty's and Carlin's posts are not interesting, it's that so many replies to their comments and posts (and some of mine) are so often sexist and reactionary that one tires of making the same critical points over and over again.

Clearly there are 1000s of sites set up to meet the market for on-line masturbation and sex-chat and it seems a great shame that this site might become yet another when the topics covered are so serious. Sadly, the appetite for expressing extreme preferences for various body shapes continues unabated and personal comments seem to dominate most threads. 

I look forward to B & C's editorial re-vamp concerning comments and moderation with huge interest.  

Best wishes

I have no wish to get into a debate in
cyberspace but I think I need to make myself clear.

Firstly in my avatar I am wearing what I consider to
be a pretty bra.  Secondly, nowhere have I actually complained about
"pictures" I have complained about male attitudes to women, people
boasting about unrequested exhibitionism and language towards women.

Maybe I should have stayed away after all?

I just found this site and it has made me think about women's lib (i know old term, but you know what I mean) and its great ... it has also made me think about the same for men ... and how it is also needed ... to be open and celebrate men ...

The farewell poster is funny in that they complain about pictures yet their pic is of their chest.

Agreed. Spotted at least one post lately that makes me want to say "Cool story bro, but /b/ is over there".

Abstinence makes The Church grow fondlers.

I agree there should be some rules on here. I've gone into the Gallery Section and have viewed some of the comments. Some comments are good there are a few that are too much. I don't know how many girls want to read replies to the Uploaded Pussy Pictures of guys jerking off while viewing pictures of pussy. It's fine to do it. But to post that you are "sitting here looking at your picture of your beautiful pussy jerking off". No some of us don't want to read about that.

There is a fine line here and I feel some of the guys on here are here for the wrong reasons.

Just my opinion.

Betty and I had that exact conversation this morning.  Now that the site is almost 1 year old it's time to set up policies and procedures based upon the interactions/complaints/shortcomings/successes that we've had here engaging with you.  

We want this to be a place for discourse where everyone can share their opinion and their sexuality without fear of condemnation or a bad pass ;)

IMHO every time when we are dealing with delicate subjects such as sexuality we should establish some rules first. And stick to them.

There should be areas for being naughty and flirty and those for serious discussion. I propose that the communities be Work Safe. Any Not Work Safe pics/vids can be put in a form of links with appropriate warnings.

Genital art gallery is well guarded - you have to click two times before you get there. Plenty of warning for those that are not ready/in the mood to watch NWS stuff.

But as tom.penry said avatars are generally of the mature variety. I think it should be regulated.

Miss Moonlight has a case here. The "Genital Art Gallery" is the place for genital picture sharing. Too many of us have uploaded genital pictures to the forum, replys and comments. While the site is not sexist, it is a place for serious interchange of ideas. We need to respect the site and use the different components appropriately. Many members of the community allow a private email response as well as an open reply. Lets consider our choices before we respond to a post.

I won't consider this a farewell.  I will continue to delete any obscene post.  This is a community FOR WOMEN and you must always feel comfortable.  If there's any way that I've been remiss, please let me know.
