WHY do you need a forum for "wimmin only"? its like having a forum for gay kendoka. Or a "single parents only" dojo. TOTALLY UNNECESSARY. I find it sexist, politically incorrect, and totally out of context on a MA forum area.

We DONT CARE if your bum looks big in traditional hakama. Live with it.

Martial arts uniforms are NOT SEXY. DO NOT TRY AND MAKE THEM SO.

If you have a problem ASK YOUR TEACHER. Otherwise text each other if its embarrassing to discuss in public, because this is public in case you forgot....

Female bogu (white) are sized for girls, and if you want a set get measured up for one and it fits you. Buy a light sword as advertised on eurobogu if you do iai. If you have trouble with gi, buy a kimono and alter it to suit. Hakama never fit westerners anyway, so dont worry about it.

You now have nothing else to complain about so the forum can be shut down.

Someone's got his panties in a twist, eh?

Not that I need to justify myself or the forum to you, but there is a difference between women coming together to support each other in a male dominated arena and an exclusionary dojo (your "single parent's only" example). No one has said that men aren't allowed to post on that forum. It's simply a place where specialized topics can be discussed since some men (i.e., you) have a problem with women asking about how to get proper chakuso.

On that topic... no one's trying to make their dogi "sexy." It just looks a lot better if you don't have a big mess o'fabric poofing at your back. And I've seen girls get dinged on their chakuso if their hakama doesn't fit right. I don't want to look sexy in my bogu. I want to look put together and intimidating.

You don't like it, don't go there. At least this way the "sillyness" of the wimmen folk is contained in one place, eh?

Edit: and I expect this kind of stuff out of Hai Hai, who at least is amusing. But I had more respect for you from your previous posts on the Iai forum.
