Do Men Assume Women Can't Grow? - Women's Forum - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Dutchgrown · 02-06-2004, 11:14 PM

Generally speaking of course.............

............was recently thinking
why there aren't more women growers online? and why men automatically
assume on various mj sites that the poster is a guy? Can't begin to
count how many messages I've received on other sites that all included
such things as "bro" or "mate", oh yes, and "dude", not that it bothered
me, always got a chuckle out of it. :p Perhaps it's because of all the electrical
work, or if hydro....plumbing too, just the construction/modification necessary of an indoor growing area?????

The reason we assume not many women grow is that we assume that not many women smoke.
Most of us have had girlfriends or wives that didn't approve and it seems to me at least,that wemon that do smoke aren't as hardcore about it.
The obvoius problem here is that we need more women like you that not only smoke and grow,but excell at it.

Ahhhh shucks JLP, thanks for the compliment :p Just yesterday

and spoke very knowledgeably about our favorite herb

She selected 8 different strains to grow. She couldn't

have been but in her mid-30's

In my world, who gardens and grows the flowers? Of course, it is the womenfolk. Who grows the squash, beans and taters? The menfolk.

Why? I don't have a clue.

When someone has some success at gardening, is it the male or female that jumps up and starts beating their chest, demanding everyone to look at what I've accomplished. With respect to MJ cultivation and the posts on OG, I'd hazard a guess that it would be the male.

Maybe some of the female growers don't want to be confronted with a jungle of chest thumping gorillas. Take note that some gorillas are warm and cudley and like to snuggle.

Just some thoughts!

My wife is learning to grow, so she won't have to do without if anything ever happens to me, and so she can take care of things when I am out of town...

I think the reason people use dude, man, ect. on the forums is because of the names people use for ID. Not to many are women.

yea.... well... I think this's not a problemo Dutchel....(lmao...what a great new nick for dutchgrown...

)...

If least at 90% are users with penis....I think it's pretty normal to assume that the user is male... Generalizing and categorlizing... is a main requirements for humans in their daily life....

caricature... If you don't learn that walking in front of a fast moving vehicle will damage you... and if you don't learn that it's same with every kinda car... you get burried very quickly....

So this is a basic function for us humans to assume things....and if you'd go to a womens parfyme forum...... wouldn't it be egocentric to believe everyone should start writin different way...because one of the users may be a non-women.... IMO.... "when in Rome, do as the romans do".... no need to get insulted of sumthing that isn't there because of ya...

that kinda feminist shit makes me mad....no problem with equality... but that's not the case... EVERYTHING doesn't have to have happened because of you.... so better to move on.... it's easier and faster....more effective... to communicate with generalizings...

bwhahhaaaa..... I had myself caught... for rambling....

People seems to think too often that everything is running only around themselves... this should be remembered....

edit.... btw... I noticed sumthin... Dutchel... you're a woman? If so... I'm more than impressed... I wrote this answer believing you were a guy... good that there's chicks around too

(flirty eye blink...

ok, so why aren't there more women growing LL?

after all, women have that nurturing, (nourishing) maternal instinct which is quite helpful tending to the plants:p

nurturing = nur·tured, nur·tur·ing, nur·tures
To nourish; feed.
To educate; train.
To help grow or develop; cultivate: nurture a student's talent.

Usage: To Nurture, Nourish, Cherish. Nourish denotes to supply with food, or cause to grow; as, to nourish a plant, to nourish rebellion. To nurture is to train up with a fostering care, like that of a mother; as, to nurture into strength; to nurture in sound principles. To cherish is to hold and treat as dear; as, to cherish hopes or affections.

One does not have to consume MJ in order to grow it, and grow well.

I've never been insulted by being referred to as a guy online, just wanted to urge you GUYS through this discussion to URGE your girlfriend, wife, companion, etc. to join in this wonderful experience of growing. Quite simple really.

Actually my dear Dutchel...

I've tried to inspire my girlfriend to start growin with me... but even she likes to smoke some times... she hasn't shown any interest for growin...

and second... I don't know why there isn't more women growin... my ex-girlfriend growed... but maybe it's because women are more law-abiding than men... yeah... this sounds logical....

I've given plants to women so that they'd grow em... but naah... this is rare...

Nice to know now.... :p
peace bro

... oh ...btw... DG...look at the edit at my first answer....

Laurus Lamas · 02-07-2004, 01:07 PM

Maybe your being woman was the answer for you kindness... that I was wondering...

always welcoming people...
