damn I had this really cool post typed out and hit send and there was an accident down the road at exactly the same time.
Basis of it is, some women feel intimidated in the competition situation where men can also fish, they also are not thought of by said men who usually own boats and also end up babysitting.
Was talking with a fishing mate today & we got onto the subject of women aboard small boats.
His words "women are only good for two things when on board a small boat, moaning & whinging". There was one more small point he made & that related to the degree of difficulty in the bladder dept.
I understand that operators of small charter boats are restricted to no more than 20mins away from a jetty or wharf if there is no toilet aboard. And that wharf or jetty must have a toilet!
I would guess that applies to both sexes, but I'd be pretty snotted if a male insisted on going ashore to squat, diddly or not! What?
funny the comment about getting naked....is it a complex you have? or do you think you lack something?
Personally as always, I wouldnt give a toss, I am more interested in the fishing not some dickwad who thinks his experience would be curtailed.
Get over it. I am sure if the tables were turned you would feel differently.
Was about to edit this into something more neutral and thought bugger it.
This is the sort of attitude that women get all the time doesnt matter whether they fish or not. AND this is why competitions for women only exist.
Sad thing is some of you guys probably dont even realise it.
We dont care about your language or crass jokes, we dont care about you pissing over the side or whether you can or not, or even if you compare dicks while having a pee. We do care about being treated as a lesser being. A large amount of men would rather take a dog fishing than a woman.
Quite frankly 3rnzir you are a sad sad man who I am quite glad I am nowhere near. Your attitude stinks and is unbecoming of a responsible angler.
postscript~ the other half read this and mentioned to me not to feed the trolls.
Glad to see you're up & running Jo! Ain't nuthin' like a good debate late at night!(lol)
Personally, I applaud any woman who is prepared to get out there & do it. I can't understand the mental glitch about touching fish, bait, hooks, etc.
From my observations, marriges that invole couples doing a bit more than what comes naturally, thrive to a much greater extent
Todays generation have become used to most things vaccum packed, sanitised, sterilized & bar coded.(disposable nappies are another of my gripes)
He who can design a small, private, & discreet toilet for small boats will make a mint
I guess its because they are told its icky behaviour patterning etc, funny thing is....who handles raw meat most of the time.
Did I tell you about the time I had to clean out the main sewer at work? Did you know that burnt lime is fantastic for knocking off maggots and repelling flies?
your not winging about a boat load full of sheilas are ya salty??...maybe you should invite that bad bad man p squid to sort them out...
lindy loves fishing and loves boating...when baby is off the good milk she will be out there with me again, cant wait!..
3rnzir, I totally disaggree with your thoughts on women on charter trips, absolutely. If at all possible, I to have women on every long range trip really, as it does keep the guys a little more on their mettle... language is a little better, drunkeness is held back a little... basically the guys tend not to be quite so "Blokey" if there is a woman on board....makes for a better trip in my opinion. I fail to see the attraction in some hung-over shyte praising the lord over the side when we're trying to have breakfast etc.
As for womens comps? No real problem with them either, then again, I do not like them particularly. Mind you, I do not like ordinary comps, and only very seldom and with great reluctance enter any competition. Why? Mainly because I just do not enjoy having to stop fishing at a certain time, no matter if the fishing is just getting going, and worst of all, having to go to a clubrooms full of loud, semi-stewed fishermen and the interminable waiting for results to be announced.
Just not a very sociable chap I suppose. However, anything that encourages more people toget into rec fishing, the better. Kids comps, ladies comps, small boat comps, all of them are a good idea really.
cheers, Stu.
looking at the topic heading ,isnt it the kitchen opp im going now
Well,how many heifers on this thread come across as `hairy armpitted,femminazi dykes`?.Only 1 me thinks?Any wonder I refuse to do charter trips with chick`s I have never met?The next generation of chiks do show much promise though.Not as `bolshie` as this `75 ` lot.Thank goodness.There is hope for femmininity after all..
Out...
A bit heavy there 3rnzir methinks!
This is a dual gender forum & I would like to think that women & kids would feel welcome. The sort of comments that have been made would put many off!
Is that a good thing?
Think buddy, think!
We have some , not many, but some ladies on here & they contribute well . I for one would like to encourage their participation.
I've been on charters with women & have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I also have a fishing buddy lady that I fish with from time to time.
She is a go hard fisho, keen, alert & up with the play. Frankly, I think I would prefer fishing with her than with a macho anti-feminist.
Our sport should cross all boundrys, race, gender, age etc. WE should encourage all participants, We should be happy to take our wife, daughter's, Mother -in-law's out on the briny.
Think, buddy, think!
Bloody hell...Im staying well away from this one...
My only comment is.... save yourself the bucks and do not rent Van Helsing on Vid or DVD. Its absolute and utter shyte
Good lookin sheilas in it Jo....is it cool to say that ?
Dunno was just a little out there for me I guess.....one too many swings like tarzan for 2km's
