I for one welcome the ladies to such a great community. When it comes to browsing threads in Q&A or checking out a ROM, I don't care if the person is male or female. I treat everyone the same based on how they are able to help or contribute to the community.

We are here on XDA developers for one reason and one reason only... that is for development and to further our knowledge about development. We all started feeling lost or clueless about something and there was someone to help us get to where we are now, why not return the favor and help someone else.

Anyways, I can keep going about why we are all here for another couple of paragraphs, but that's not what this threads about. Welcome to the community ladies, I hope to see you around on newer devices in the future.
[Off-topic] P1NK13P13:
It would be nice if everyone had the same view as you, Matrix. Unfortunately, that's too much to ask for nowadays. Thank you for this. I would love to feel equal in this community, but at the same time have a place to go and chat with fellow female colleagues and pick their minds regarding devices, roms, apps, etc.

I almost want to leave this "community" based on all of the negativity, trolls and so forth just within this thread. This forum is one big sports bar filled with guys and anytime a female comes in, it's "OMG a female!" This is not how we wanted it. So much disrespect. So what if we want a little safe haven for ourselves? This forum is male dominated, anyway. If we can't have that password protected, encrypted place, then let us delete this thread, start fresh with a new one with rules laid out & a mod can help keep us decide where it goes, keeo us on track and help keep the trolls away & at bay. It will be out tech salon to your sports bar. Take it as you all may. That is my two cents. Thanks :cool::beer:

Just a thought, a private group? You could then invite every girl/lady who announces herself in this thread (or another)

[Off-topic] Sleepy!:
THIS IS GOING TO BE MY LAST POST IN THIS THREAD IF OP WANTS IT TO BE SO.

Let me start by saying that I find the attitude here rather hypocritical. Not the attitude of most members, only a few members and certain mods.

Any thread in off topic gets trolled at least a bit.

People are told to deal with it. For some reason, some people on this thread seem to think it's special.

It's not.

You get trolled a bit in OT, and then you're left to do what you want.

Nobody here is going to make fun of you BECAUSE you're female, rather, they'll do it in spite of the fact that you're female.

One fact that's very disturbing to me is that certain posts here are being deleted just because they weren't made by women.

In the past, we have been told by mods in OT that everyone can post everywhere. I don't feel that this is being followed here.

It's this perceived double standard that's offensive to us OT regulars.

It is my most heartfelt wish that this thread become a part of the larger off-topic community, but with the closed minded attitudes that are being seen here, I don't think there's much of a chance of that happening.

You don't fight trolls by deleting them or running away... You reverse troll them and make them GTFO.

I read a post by a member on this thread that I appreciated a lot.

All I'm asking is that we follow this principle.

The women of XDA don't need your protection, mods. They have more than enough balls to protect themselves. ;)

Members of this thread, take a proactive approach in fighting trolls.

Most of us aren't going to post anything that is obscene or in totally bad taste... If anyone does step over the line, please feel free to report that post to the forum mods or to anyone you wish.

And mods, in the spirit of fair play, let's not delete every mild troll on this thread. That's not done on the rest of OT, so please don't do it here.

I believe that I speak for most of OT when I say that I respect women, just as much as I respect men.

Let's be equally respectful of each other and try to coexist on this forum.

So let's stop this talk of private groups, of OT being the cesspool of XDA, and get on with it.
[Off-topic] M_T_M:
Let us continue this candid conversations mates and materinas :silly:

Now...if I can have your attention please...look into this device now!

That's right! Now...we were talking very proactively about this thread and its content...let us carry on!

Cheers,
[Off-topic] _deleted_:
Gonna start this reply with saying, i'm not a regular here, in OT, so no, i'm not familiar with how things work. So bare that in mind :)

But regardless of it being Off-Topic, i'd like to remind you, forum rules STILL apply, you're not rendered immune from these rules, purely because behaviour here is "expected" or tolerated. You're still on XDA, so rules still apply.

I don't really think you can make such a swooping statement like that. "just because they weren't made by women", i believe some posts weren't acceptable, regardless of it being Off-topic. Sexism still isn't accepted, as mentioned above. Forum rules, still apply.

The problem here is, the OP's intention was never for it to end up as an out-right argument between males and females. It was meant as a sort of "meet and greet" for us women (the minority) on XDA and weren't actually originally meant for OT.

Nope, i should hope nobody on XDA needs moderator "protection" as you put it. As mentioned previously, this thread was never meant for OT, yet ended up here and it sort of derailed from there. As this was never meant to be an OT discussion/troll fest thread.

What may seem to be a little joke, a harmless little troll, could actually and can actually come across as offensive, whether intentional or not. This is why threads of this nature should be kept within the places where trolling isn't as openly accepted as OT.

I'm glad that the majority of you have respect for members regardless of their gender, however, some do not and this is where the problem lies. There is sexism and crap people in the world, and on the internet people are equally, if not worse...i love a laugh and a joke just like you lot, but there is a line. And some posts crossed it.

Although i really respect you giving your opinion, i hope you respect me giving mine.

I'm actually in support of the idea of a private group for us ladies. So if anybody is interested let me know and i'll sort it out, or set one up and feel free to invite me! :) or we can try set up a much more organised thread somewhere

[Off-topic] Fallen Spartan:
Ok, I leave for a bit and return to see this thread become rather heated. A number of rants, posts deleted, posts restored etc. I am all for banter, people talking, but I think this thread needs to calm a bit......myself included. Too many mods got involved

I am going to observe it, but take a step back, hopefully thread can return to normality.

Now I realize this thread was not meant for OT, but it has ended up here. As somebody mentioned, a new thread could be created and put somewhere else, not in OT or a private group could be created. However, in it's current state, this thread will never become what it was meant for. A place for Girls on XDA to come and chat. It'll always attract males, trolls and so forth. Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with males coming into a thread, but I don't think this was the purpose of this thread.

I'll let the girls decide what they want and as LA said, a private group or thread elsewhere can be created if they want.
[Off-topic] Sleepy!:
I can understand that OT doesn't act welcoming to new faces... there is a certain amount of hazing that goes on here that can be a bit insulting.

As for the purpose of this thread, I understand that you gals want a lounge thread of your own, and while I can understand how attractive a private group would look after your experiences here, I'd encourage you to keep it a thread instead of a closed group... but even if you guys do move to a group, I'd request that this thread be kept open just to encourage you all to socialise with the guys (and :eek: gals :eek: ) of OT.

We have a certain reputation, and I'm sure it'll give everyone here a lot of pleasure to prove the stereotypes about Off Topic wrong. :)
[Off-topic] P1NK13P13:
We socialize enough with your kind. I have a lot of respect for many people here (M/F). However. Like I have said before, this is a male dominated forum. You guys can post anywhere on this forum and get a male's POV in an instant. If we want a female's we may get one immediately or we could be playing the waiting game. We need a place for ourselves to jibber jabber about tech. No guy will give a good review to "Hey! What do you think of my Bubbles Power Puff 3D cover for my GS4 19505 with ASOP & UCCW custom pink bows theme?"

This is a request no different than you guys saying, "Honey, I need some guy time." We could plan for a safe haven for ourselves or something else I have in mind.

[Off-topic] DowntownJeffBrown:
So I guess posts are still being deleted even if nothing offensive is being posted? Ridiculous one of my best friends on here is a girl but I guess this thread doesn't follow normal rules. I didn't post anything against the rules or offensive so my post shouldn't have been removed. I'm one of the most supportive members to females and I treat everyone equally. So may I ask why was my post saying "Hehe" removed????

Congrats fellow S4 owner

it's not about who supports who,

this game is all about software shares in operating systems,

while apple forcing a closed support from android,

google's strategy is to give users option on what to and what not to use, and google services are a potentially better service,

so more people using Gapps in cross-platforms + user share = more marketing and targeted prefered advertising = more $$$$$$$$$$$ for google.

That's a pretty unfair description of men mate. I was one of those who complained it was in general and almost got banned for it...

I welcome anyone and everyone here, but special treatment is not cool. In fact, my only stance with regards to gender is that it's great more women are opening up to the more technical side of things, I am for instance very proud of my sister who is an engineer (a mother, and an iPhone user. ;) )

You're not a suck-up, but you do have what most men here have: a white knight complex; a need to protect even though there's no need, the worst kind of sexist.

A big thanks to my sister for that mindblowing realisation.

Also, men emotionally weak? Meh. Stunted for sure ;)

Welcome, women of XDA, it really is a great addition. Now go make me an awesome app, or a sand... no, that's cheap.

Peace

Sexist? Me? If you say so! You know absolutely nothing about me.

This is why I don't often come into off topic. You try and defend people or pay a compliment and people just want to criticise you for it!

Absolutely nothing implies you've said nothing, do you even logic?

You went or of your way to share an opinion, adults know to expect reactions.

Yes they are, so stop doing it for others, it's degrading unless they ask for it, man or woman.

'Emotionally weak'? That's a pleonasm. :p

Why is it that every thread about or for women turns into men telling women they respect them and their freedom? We don't need to hear you say it, how about actually DOING it? Start by letting us have our own conversations in our own threads, for one. (It's just as annoying as saying "I don't care that you're gay" to someone who is. Well that's great, what's your point? Seriously, don't.) Political correctness blown out of proportions. :rolleyes:

All I will say is this. Title of the thread says "Girls on XDA". first rule on xda is respect. So I think we should respect the OP's thread and let this be a women only thread. Maybe us guys should go back to basics and learn the rules again of xda

What I mind is the endless flood of "We respect your rights and you're welcome to be here, women are awesome blablabla" posts. I know it's intended nicely, but it doesn't need to be said. These are the posts that start the 'female rights' discussions we don't want. We know we're welcome here, otherwise there'd be a rule against it. We know you respect us, if you didn't you'd be treating us differently. How about respecting us by treating us like you've always treated us in other threads? :rolleyes:
