where are all the wimmin?

[onymee]

it suddenly occurred to me this afternoon that most of the posters on here are male type blokes. I can't recall seeing any wimmin type females. Surely bee keeping isn't a male preserve? While I am perfectly comfortable being a lone female in a whole herd of males (comes from being the only teenage female soldier's daughter on base in Germany), it'd be nice to get the female perspective.

There are quite a few of us on here. Just generally not as talkative on here as them blokey types (less free-time, busy running around after them!)

ahh that's why then. I am very fortunate that the only males in my home are canine and feline, psittacine, reptilian and chelonian. The first 2 species are all castrated which is how I prefer my males hehehe.

Well, if it's any consolation, I spend Sundays wandering round in a long frock-type thing.

After a long day on the hunt it's nice to wind down with a row .... I mean chat.

Trying to make me look ridiculous?

of course not. Flat brogues would be ridiculous. Thigh length patent leather boots would be ridiculous. 6 inch Laboutans are perfect.

Which I keep removing, but which keeps reinstating itself, much to my annoyance.

I know it shouldn't, but it really pisses me off. The system shouldn't be displaying any information I choose to keep private.
