Do you ever make gender-specific discussions?

It really can't be helped sometimes. I know that I've made some gender specific discussions before, an example being one about permanent make up. Although, I do try to ask broad questions that would allow anyone to respond to. I mean, the person wouldn't have had to experience whatever it was I asked or anything. They could talk about someone they know who went through it or something. But the thing is, I've noticed that I do get some people of the opposite gender responding to some of my gender-specific discussions too.

I probably do, but since I am of the gender that got left out of "history" and "mankind" and al that good stuff, I figure it is payback time. I am extremely cognizant of the issue, but I do not feel even a little bad if I do it. NOPERS!

I think it's sometimes hard to avoid questions like this. I know myself I have probably asked gender specific questions and I know I've started discussions that were specific to those in the U.S. or of a certain religion. I sometimes feel bad but at the same time I figure if someone reads it and can't or doesn't want to answer they just won't. I often run across discussions that I can't respond to for these very reasons. Don't feel too badly about it, I think we all do it!

Like what vonmac said up there, it could be gender-specific, but anyone can still reply. Hi maezee, I remember one gender-specific discussion you started. The one about PMS. I remember that it did not stop my from responding. And I think I was the first!

Yup, I have made several discussions over the past. One thing I remember is a discussion pertaining to woman asking "how painful it is when giving birth?" I guess men cannot knew this, so its a gender specific question.
