Why so few females here? I thought it's supposed to be...

Go to last post
I'm sure, like most woman, she's naive about sticking her behind, both of them, at the mostly male viewers.
But she's trying to be inventive. I like that.

My girlfriend thinks she's mooning us all, PG style. Or maybe she thinks the camera works better upside down, LOL.

But I still like some of her images and she should participate more in autofocus arguments or metering or expodisk tests. Didn't someone do a test on using a bra as a white balance standard? Maybe lonit can test that for us.

Why is photography so male dominated? Not that I'm shocked... I'm
always finding myself interested in "guy things" (watch it, you
with the dirty mind! Yes, I meant YOU!!!).

Someone's religious or ethnic background from their responses / username in an internet forum? You can usually tell what gender they are. This makes it a much easier observation and one that does not require a scientific poll to figure out.

... that has been asked in the past in other forums by the female
photographers. What I find is so strange, you have the answers
because you are a female and I have opinion as being a male.

Also I find it strange and make me think why it does not go any
further. I have not seen the same question being asked how come few
Blacks, Hispanics or other minorities in this forum. It seems the
forums are dominated by males like me, white males. If you go to
B&H Photo in New York City, you will see the majority of buyers are
white males.

How come no question are asked how many Catholics, Protestants are
here? Republicans or Democrats? Liberal or Conservatives. I have a
clue what the answers are from many of the photos I have seen or
messages they have posted. But I will bite my lip and not say
anything.

Also I might point out, only a women could get away posting your
sig photo. As a male if I did that many would find it offensive. :(

that is even 50% female. Combine that with photography being a male

I happened onto one such board quite some time ago and it was practically all women. I think it was a site/forum having to do with photography of children. I know that Lisa Neal was a poster on that site. I tried searching it here but the darn Search function hasn't been working the last while.

Hi Gayle, so nice of you to introduce yourself! :) It's a pleasure to meet you. I do think I may have seen your name pop up once or twice - I seem to remember ther "y" spelling of it. :)

As far as the Internet -- I've learned a lot on dpreview. First in
the NTF and now here. Thanks to all who participate. Well, except
the ego-maniacal ones and sometimes even thanks to them.

I hadn't noticed there weren't many women.

Everyone's entitled to be a jerk sometimes so I don't hold it against anyone. :) I'm here to learn, so if someone's tactless it doesn't matter all that much to me, as long as they have something to say that I or someone else can learn from. Blatent insults accompanied by no helpful advice is just immature and pathetic and rolls right off my back. :)
