Well, not in the biological sense...Ever since my back injury, when I went from a male dominated field (landscaping), to a female dominated field (office clerk). I've spent most of my time around women..at first the transition was a little awkward, but I have no complaints.

I wanted to touch briefly on the situation involving Dave and his decision to leave the boards because of the oversight. I hope this wasn't the sole reason for his departure, because he'd be making a big mistake. I once took my wife to a baseball game and it was dubbed a "Businessman's special"..there were lots of women in attendance as well. My wife's reaction..phoney disgust...she joked that her admittance should be free...:)

Swanson makes HungryMan Dinners...I've seen women eat them as well.

I read the statement..it never bothered me in the slightest, simply because I know the workouts are effective, regardless of gender. When I'm spent, mentally and physically after KP and C or Kick Max, I never once thought how I'd feel if I were a woman.

Perhaps I'd have had an issue had SNM came out and said...men should not attempt these workouts. I couldn't say for sure.

I get a lot of down time in the winter months and I get to play on the computer at work when we're slow, so I enjoy being a member of message boards, and have cultivated friendships with women on these boards that I am most pleased about.

If someone personally insults me, my family, then there's grounds for departure..I left a club that I was a board leader for for this very reason.

A generalization, especially one that was corrected, standing on its own, would not be enough to make me stop doing something I enjoy. It sure sounds like Dave was highly regarded here, which would make me think he felt the same.

Don't give up something that's a part of you over something that's just not worth it..mistakes happen.

Jerry-
I'm so glad you're here! What a wonderful post. Male, female, cat, dog, whatever--if you love Cathe you're a friend of mine!!

Well said, Jerry! I hope Dave reads your post...and how could he not come back now that we've all begged him to -- lol!
 
Thank you for being reasonable & mature Jerry. You're a very welcome addition to our family! :) What on earth would we do without a few guys around here to keep things in perspective? ;-)

Well, if you were a woman, you wouldn't feel as spent!:+ I am SO kidding!! I just couldn't let that one go!:7 VERY VERY KIDDING!!

Welcome Jerry!

Oh, and I agree from the other thread that the over sight must have been the final straw and not the sole culprit. I know when it gets super hot around here I ask myself "why". I found an excellent solution, though...I don't direct my attention to the stuff that just doesn't matter! I stay away from the threads with 35+ posts and look for the once that have healthy meaning.

Again, Welcome Jerry! Nice to have a man tough enough to handle a Cathe workout here!
 
It was very pleasant to read your post. Hope your right about Dave and perhaps he will come back.

Thanks Jerry for posting this. I'm glad we have some guys around on the boards. You add a prospective that we often over look. I wish we had more men on the boards.

When I first started getting into Cathe last year, my DH watched (unknown to me) and later said that he wishes that he'd known about her when he was active duty because he would have LOVED working out to her instead of the boring gym ANYDAY! Now that he's disabled, I think that says a lot!
