    You're playing right into his hands though. He is obviously looking for a reaction and everybody is queuing up to give him one.  Why not just ignore him?

    I agree with this, definitely the best policy

    Yes ,  not a very nice welcome for women if they arrive in hot pants or leggings to be told their tarts by sexist trolls.

    women can do allsorts of things just as well as men. the laws of physics and genetics determine which things either sex has an advantage at.
    Women would be equal to men playing poker if they spent the same amount of time practicing and had a level playing field.  If there were more women playing the game there would be more women aspiring to be poker pros and then there would be more poker pros who were women. 

    If you were a betting man (or woman) you could bet on the winner of the wsop being a male or female by working out the odds, just like pot odds, 
    x number of men in tourney 
    y number of women in tourney
    x/y 

     Some men have difficulty accepting that women are better than them at stuff.  Some women have difficulty accepting that some men are better than them at stuff. 

     I have lost surf competition to women and i have been taught to free dive to 30 meters by a women.
    I am happy in myself and my abilities and am glad to be taught by anyone, male or female.
    I teach women to juggle and do mma, it's all good ;)

    when you act like a sexist pr!ck then you shoul be prepared to be called sexist Pr!ck. you are constantly quoting things that have never been said, its getting very boring, I've ignored this thread for a while as its just embarassing, I've always felt pretty proud to play most of my poker on Sky, very little collusion, very very few Huds, a great community spirit, and a forum that was full of people doing great things for this site and for the good of poker. The work Aussie does is fantastic, GaryQQQ's thread was brilliant, some of the diarys, like Jacs. Timmys, Toms, Hhys etc all so different yet all add to the site in some way and the effort Tikay and others put in to get back to everyone is remarkable.. So to see someone like you bring such embarassment and indignity to this site is truly shameful.. I understand you must have an incredibly sad and pathetic life to say the things you do and to try and get a reaction out of good people who are trying to give some constuctive input  and interupt a thread which should have been about getting women into poker and broadening the game we all love, yet you have just descended it into an unfunny, petty, embarassing example of what is holding poker back...  

    You sir are an utter disgrace to the human species and i sincerely hope you do not have a daughter or any other female in your life who looks up to you in any way,

    You just don't get it do you?!

    No one is calling or has called these girls tarts, no one is saying or has said girls who wear hot pants are tarts....what is being said is that by having these girls dressed in this way it is aimed mainly at a male client base and  this only serves to create an extra barrier to more female participation in poker. 

    One of the main questions posed in the original blog was why is female participation low.

    I still think the best way for more female participation is for the guys who play at this current time, to take females with them to casinos or play online.Getting the ladies to just start from scratch , and then venture into a casino, is a longshot.Guys currently playing, should make an effort to encourage their partners, if they show the slightest interest.Remember, they do have bars casinos, which may sway them.

    Ah, there is looking after the kids to take into consideration.

    Maybe ask Donna, irishrose, asmithx, koko10, Amarie etc, why they first started.See if there is a common denominator.

    Let Women make their own choices ......... they choose (not) to go to casino's but to wear hot pants. You choose what you want to do , they should be allowed the same privilage.
