Hey, I was sitting here today thinking about the website at Northwest firearms, and I realize that we work hard here from what I've seen to keep the forum family friendly, and we have even set up areas for women that own firearms. But one thing I was looking at, that is missing from this website is not just a area for women, but representation of women here. I have no doubt there are some very strong women that would do an awesome job in helping to moderate on this website. It's something I thought about after I made a post today, that I thought was partially insensitive to our female members. I have nothing to do with this site other than being a supporting member. But I see an avenue here to help welcome women more openly accepted to the site. I also think it is not enough to simply say we invite women here, we need to stand behind that and look at having a moderator here that can help give a healthy perspective to the website.
I for one, would like to see more open representation and transparency. I have seen this site, look at political correctness for political parties, when they are not represented properly here. Meaning there are many Democrats that owned firearms, so we want to make sure we are Democrat friendly.( not my views, but is what is taught here).
What I find about that statement that has been used throughout this forum, is we have missed a see huge opportunity to make the womenfolk here feel represented. More so than simply political parties.
Some may disagree and say, we don't need to have positions based on somebody's specific gender. I totally 100% disagree. It is not a matter of a member being represented by gender. It is making sure we allow the specific vision from women to be supported here. Not just by members, but by staff itself. I think it goes a long ways as well to have women on staff to show were not simply giving lipservice, when we say women are welcome here.
Thanks
