Ladies Corner is gone

Due to the massive lack of success, and the fact that all recent threads had only men posting in it, we've decided to remove the ladies corner. the private Ladies forum has been archived, all public threads were distributed to the various specific forum (shaving, soaps, etc) and the forum itself was removed. We do of course invite all Ladies to participate in the various topical forums.

It's a shame that it went, not that I think it was terribly well subscribed by ladies, but nonetheless it was there. I think some of the guys responses to the threads were more of a shame.

Sniff, I read only one or two responses on the Ladies Corner...still, I don't handle loss well.
Say, does anyone else shave their buttocks?

,,,,,,,,,,,,,:gaah: :D

The very fact that it was dormant was harmless, but the fact that comments such as the previous one became the norm despite our best efforts to keep it clean. And so it was doing more harm than good.

Bruno wasn't talkin about me & my thingies Bill,,, I thinks his comment was directed at YOU ;)

It's too bad for any ladies that might have enjoyed it, but I guess not enough interest is not enough interest. I have never dared to browse it, as I perceived it as a private lady forum, and could only guess that anything in it was nothing of my business. In fact, I'm quite surprised men actually posted in it. Oh well, each to their own.

I agree, as I have complained in the past. Kind of sad, yet predictable.

As-said. Best for the forum as it is. Who knows what the future brings?

Now where are we going to read about guys shaving their wife's armpits?:gaah:
I'm glad that's over. Truly..

Thank you mods.

Gentlemen,

The Ladies Corner forum had potential if only more ladies participated in it. Instead, the forum became a barroom of men who forgot SRP's sense of propriety and good taste. I am pleased with our decision to close shop.

I don't think a gentleman would either read or post in the Ladies Corner. Hallo, jolly bad fun what?

I think it was perfectly fine and acceptable for men to post in the ladies corner, provided circumstance called for it.
I myself posted there once or twice, when questions were broached regarding both interpersonal shaving, as well as requests for information on "how to" as I have experience in such matters.

While I'm not against levity per se, I don't think I ever saw any made by the few women that actually posted there.
I don't much care if the site changes a little as the times dictate. As long as its still a place where people can ask questions and seek answers.

Never visited that forum,never looked at it.

The whole idea for that forum was a place for LADIES to call their own and post. It was never intended to be a place for guys to post about ladies. Maybe if a lady started a thread and specifically asked for guys opinion on something that might be an exception.

Yep they only wanted to here how ladies shaved their privates!

This is the sort of thing Obie was talking about.

I'm sad that the Ladies Corner is gone. My husband has been using a straight razor for 5 years now. I just got up the courage to try it myself. (I'm still in the research stage, haven't actually tried it yet). I joined SRP today because I heard there was a ladies corner.

There's no reason at all that it can't be re-opened. With some interest from ladies such as yourself, it will blossom back to life.

Mimi, in the mean time post wherever applies in the forum. PLEASE feel welcome here despite this recent change. You ARE still very welcome here!

With the recent talk of woman shaving their faces and dermaplaning I thought it would have gained momentum.
