Dee:
Now you coax me into going down to the level of, in you own words, "a comment based not only on personal experience but articles that I have read by some of the leaders of the women's organizations." .... so that now I argue against your interpretations of materials and a "special interest group"... what next, "Lesbian hams?" The women are NOT there on the bands--you claim they are "hiding", well great--they still ain't there in any REAL sense! John "Dee Flint" wrote in message ... "John Smith" wrote in message ... Dee: Now you are the official spokesmen for ALL these women, I'd rather hear that directly from all the other girls here... John-listens-to-the-echoes-from-this-silent-and-empty-room-and-Dee-speaking-for-ALL-the-other-females John Once again you draw conclusions unwarranted by the comment, a comment based not only on personal experience but articles that I have read by some of the leaders of the women's organizations.

So what is this hang-up you have about women, why do you think the bands should be populated with lots of women hams? As a whole, women aren't attracted to a technical hobby like ham radio. Ever go out to the model airplane radio control field? See lots of women there flying toy airplanes? How many women get their pilots license as compared to men? Ever go to a quilting meeting? How many men did you see there? Ever go to an antique radio swap meet? You will find a lot more men collecting and fixing old radios than women. Do you collect dolls, tea sets, china dishes? No? Lots of women do. When I taught Novice classis some years ago, there were always several women in the class and they ejoyed learning the code as much as anyone. There are things that interest men as a hobby and things that interest women as a hobby, and most often they are different things. If all you can see is doom and gloom for ham radio, I suggest you go back to the 'freeband' where you seem to think radio life is great. |

How many men did you see there? Quilting, I have no idea. I do know that our friend Paul is one of the better local crochet artists - he does specialty work such as Jewish skullcaps with intricate designs and teaches same at local congregations. Ever go to an antique radio swap meet? You will find a lot more men collecting and fixing old radios than women. One of the more prominent collectors and restorers of WW-II-era military radios is a woman - who is also the communications chief for one of the major California cities. Do you collect dolls, tea sets, china dishes? No? Lots of women do. As do most of the dealers in that field, who are overwhelmingly male. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane |

Good for another lop-sided opinion. Ever go to an antique radio swap meet? You will find a lot more men collecting and fixing old radios than women.

If you like butch lesbians, she's the gal for you... She isn't old enough (by photos) to be born until at least 1965 or later... Do you collect dolls, tea sets, china dishes? No? Lots of women do. As do most of the dealers in that field, who are overwhelmingly male. Tsk, tsk, you need to watch more HGTV, Phil. Especially the "Carol Duvall Show." :-) Or walk into any Michael's chain outlet any hour of the day. Bye. |
