CJ,
No offence hon but, are you not the one whos prime business model is based on webmasters selling products to the for women market?
What percentage of these webmasters are actually webmistresses?
Would seem to me like it would be a good business decision for you to post or at least, hang around our forums so you know what the females in our industry who are promoting YOUR sites are doing?
Oh and incidently, do you not own and operate http://www.femresources.com ? Would seem to be a clear-cut case of do what i say and not what i do to me 
Mind you, that said, you don thave any forums on your site, perhaps we could exchange links?
Serge, not a problem honey, ill eep your link up anywas, itll help us with our relevancy anyway in the se's.
I look forward to spending time over here regularly.
Thanks.
Bare

>>What percentage of these webmasters are actually webmistresses?
who cares!
both males and females have the same abilty to save banners to their hard drive, why do I need to know the gender of my webmasters? If I want to reach webmasters, I go to the places where they are ... the most amount of them in the 1 place at the 1 time.
>>Would seem to me like it would be a good business decision for you to post or at least, hang around our forums so you know what the females in our industry who are promoting YOUR sites are doing?
Why? So I can say hi to 5 people who I already talk to via icq/other boards/email? I already know what my webmasters/webmistresses are doing because I TALK to them ... but thanks for the business advice!
If you look closely at FemResources, you'll see its a resource for MARKETING TO WOMEN, whether you are a male or female webmaster - its there for education of a niche market, NOT to segregate men and women from doing business together. It contains articles about marketing to women, resources for building sites for women, and a question corner to answer marketing to women related questions ... This resource is used by us to assist our webmasters in learning how to target our audience.
>>Mind you, that said, you don thave any forums on your site, perhaps we could exchange links?
I do not have a forum because there are enough forums in the industry which get 5 posts a week. plus Sandra has done an excellent job of WEN, which I link to as the 'board for marketing to women' ... most board related topics I discuss happen here at oprano, where there is the most webmasters eyes to see the discussion.
>>I don't see the need to slam a place for its very first posting. How can any of us know what the place would be like after the first post?
This was not slamming, you have to be a bit less sensitive on oprano ;-)
Oh, and for the record ... no more than 30% of my purvebucks webmasters are women. Do you have a board specifically for men so I can reach the other 70%?
What is the purpose of your board?
What kind of topics do you intend to discuss once 'women are better than men' runs out?
How much traffic do you expect your site to generate?
would love you to enlighten me
