You liberal fruitcakes bent on emasculating America should be happy.
You've almost entirely destroyed family dynamics with your communist agenda.

Do you have as many manly tattoos as Pete Hegseth? Do you use masculine emojis when sharing info
that you shouldn’t be sharing?
Your subject line alone is rich with Freudian overtones... as is this entire thread.
And people here often deride me for pointing out what is merely obvious about human psychology.
Every now and again you are spot on Curls. This is one of them.

MAGA pretending they know what masculinity is
Absolutely hilarious. You spineless bitches are always good for a laugh
You sound a little upset. How about a hug? I thought you may have been able to calm yourself
a little by damaging Tesla's. Are you out of Molotov Cocktail making material?
Wow you really posted that thinking it was clever
You little bitches are a constant embarrassment
Here you go.

This may not be a bad thing, honestly.
I'm sure that 5 of us could sit down and hatch plausible theories as to why you'd see this trend moving up. But in recent years, there was some anecdotal belief that many women were "holding out" for men who met a very discriminating set of minimums (salary, education, etc.), with influencers everywhere telling them not to "settle for less" than they should feel entitled to. And if there were truth to that, it would lend itself to the trend of single women in their late 30's and 40's who had never married nor been able to start a family.
I suppose it's possible that this trend could finally be a reversal of that phenomenon, with many women maybe simply marrying for compatibility beyond the Vogue Magazine checklist of must-haves. That would probably be a good thing for society.
Sure would be nice if the misogynists on this Forum would invite the other 50% of ND Alums to
participate and share their views on the matter...one can always hope.
How many female ND alums have you invited?
(no message)
LOL...please tell me that you're not this pedantic and literal in all your daily interactions...
(no message)
Serious question, did someone invite you to this forum?
It's an open website that anyone who is interested can create an account and participate. Acting like "no one invited the women" is ridiculous.
There have been female posters on the boards throughout the years.
If you feel they need to be invited, then send a link to all the female grads you know and tell them we need help here getting a woman's perspective on things.
Equally serious question...are there any posters on this Forum that are female?...please identify
them...along with the others you say previously participated.
Given that since 1972, ND has been Co-Ed, and this Forum has been in existence since ~2007, you would think that a significant percentage of Open Forum posters would be female, since we talk about issues that impact not only males...yet I see virtually no evidence of women's presence. Small wonder, given the volume of misogynistic rhetoric evidenced daily...like with this thread.
You implied they needed to be invited, I asked if you received an invitation to come here
When you answer my simple yes/no question that I asked you, I will be happy to answer your question.
Don't be so adolescent and literal as Irish93...you should be able to quickly appreciate what was
meant by the word "Invite"...as in creating a welcoming environment...i.e. a respectful Open Forum that values diverse opinions and points of view...in this case, female perspectives.
Clearly, that's not the current condition within this Forum...and all of us are the worse for not having such input. So stop avoiding the real issue...and behave like an adult who not only respects women's opinions here, but "fights for" them.

I'll take you at your word that's how you meant it
If you truly believe they are misogynists, wanting them to create a welcoming environment for women is never going to happen. If that's how you meant it, I don't see why you would bother saying it, you couldn't possibly believe that's going to happen.
Again, this is an open forum that anyone can find and participate in, that has basically turned into a politics forum. The main purpose of the site has always been Notre Dame football. If you don't think enough women are here, it's much more likely that they aren't actually looking for a site like this, rather than the content on the open forum being "unattractive" or "unwelcoming."
If I was trying to get the point across that you claim you were, I would have phrased it as " be more inviting" rather than "invite" as it leads people to the conclusion you wanted much easier. You're on a text forum, no one is trying to read into what you type for deeper meaning, there are no book reports required here.
Just in case you haven't heard the aphorism "Perfect is the enemy of Good", I've attached it for you
...I'm not expecting everyone to jettison their misogynistic ways, but there is a non-zero chance that the environment in this Forum could markedly improve on that score...to the point that misogynistic comments are shamed by the majority of posters...and statements of encouragement and welcoming for female ND grads...as well as others...are seen frequently...and applauded when made.
Never give up hope for positive change...would you at least agree on that?
Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_is_the_enemy_of_good
No issues with that at all
And for the record, anytime I've ever seen a female post here, they are invariably welcomed by all.
A grandmother of a former player used to post here while he was at school, everyone loved talking to her. I also seem to recall an Air Force officer who used to post frequently, and on the occasions she would pop back on randomly everyone was quick to welcome her back.
Very good...here's a suggestion for all ND Alums in this Forum...let's spread the word to our
local ND clubs and Class Representatives, that UHND's Open Forum sincerely welcomes our female fellow Alums and their friends to join us. I'll do my part to 'Invite' them...and make sure they know we appreciate their presence and perspectives.
If you didn't actually mean what you said, what exactly was the point of your "admonishment?"
(no message)
I meant what I said...your, and 93"s inability to discern the context of "invite" is your problem...
...now back to the intent you didn't comprehend...this website is heavily misogynistic due to posters like yourself. By posting negative and disparaging views of women, you help make the Open Forum "unattractive" and "unwelcoming" for women to join in discussions, which serves to deny all of us the wisdom of extremely bright ND alumni perspectives...after all, just getting into Notre Dame requires exceptional intelligence and ability to use Critical Thinking...qualities we here on this site are in short supply of.
Nice back-pedal. You said something stupid, got called out, and now you're squirming.

Again, the problem is with you and others not being able to advance beyond grammar school when using
the English language...here is a copy of my very quick Google search on the use of "Invite", or "Inviting" as more than just a verb...
-------------------
Yes, it's perfectly acceptable to use the word "inviting" in a non-formal context to describe something as attractive or welcoming, even if it doesn't refer to a formal invitation.
Here's a breakdown:
"Inviting" as an adjective:
The word "inviting" can function as an adjective, meaning "attractive, tempting, or encouraging".
Examples:
"The cozy fireplace made the room feel inviting."
"She had an inviting smile."
"The restaurant's menu looked very inviting."
Formal vs. Informal:
While "invite" is a verb used in formal invitations, "inviting" as an adjective is a common and natural way to describe something that is attractive or welcoming in a more general sense.

No charge for the lesson, Jake...you're welcome. Now, be sure to be more "Inviting" of women on this message board...promise?
Nice try. You lost and once again embarrassed yourself.

Not insecure enough? Those that have to post or rant about masculinity have issues.
Usually, total nerds like Josh Hawley, or wacky doodles like MAS.
