Pffft. We had a thread about hottest Jazz players not long ago. Nothing said in this thread is that offensive. Women talk about what about men they find sexy all the time.

Women talk about all kinds of things. All the time. Just not here on JazzFazz where the male to female post rate is about 1,000 to 1. And that's only because of one very chill and level-headed moderator. Otherwise it would be about 10,000 to 1.
Summary and dismissive judgment on the relative offensiveness of various threads is not helpful in solving the demographic puzzle of JazzFanz. This is, after all, a site that purports to be family friendly, but nonetheless has developed into an almost exclusive boys' club. Maybe **** jokes aren’t "that offensive” but it is also possible they contribute to a locker room mentality and atmosphere that is not exactly female friendly.
How do you know the sex of every poster? There could be women posting who just don't want to say "Hey, look at me, I'm a girl!"

What I’m trying to get at Cy, is why, other than Mo, not a single regular poster posts as a woman. Your point that maybe there are women here who just don’t want to identify as women really only highlights the fact that we might have an issue. When I read threads like this one or posts like the one I quoted earlier that seem to me to exude a locker room vibe, I think it’s possible that this kind of culture may be part of the problem. Then again, maybe most people like the boys’ club atmosphere and don’t see the lack of outward diversity as a problem. If that's the case, I’m just whistling in the wind.
I'm not sure how one would "post as a woman". Do you mean they don't put it out there that they are a woman? If so than maybe people just post and don't get into their personal lives. But yes I think the majority of Jazzfanners are men.
As for the lack of diversity being a problem. I don't think it is but that does not mean more diversity isn't welcome. I would certainly welcome it even if I don't consider it a problem.
As for this thread, I don't have a problem with it just as I don't have a problem with threads talking about some dude in the same light. Now if this topic is family friendly or not would depend on the poster I'd think.

Discuss.
Isn't this site supposed to be kid friendly or did that change?
That said, too big for my liking. Call me crazy, I know.

Last week while I was in the shower I discovered that I'm half woman. The front half is all man but a finger slipped and I discovered that the back half is a different animal. Who knew?!
