Women Column Writers

[FanGirl]

Ryall, silly question. Just sort of occured to me in my post screening daze of Clerks last Friday.

Why doesn't Kevin's wife Jen write for the site? I mean she was a journalist for USA Today and you were looking to have more women writers. Just curious.

[Ryall]

If you were the wife of a successful filmmaker and didn't have to work at a job but could instead stay home and raise your daughter and help him run his business, would you really want to write for a Web site for free? I doubt I would...

Plus I think some of the more rabid fans scare her a bit, and she's rather keep herself, and Harley, separate from all of that.

[karmattack]

Hey, but she's not the only female around here.

Maybe there are some other good women writers around these parts. We do need some more female presence, IMHO.

[FanGirl]

True. True. I just figured maybe if Jen was bored and missed writing...since Harley is in school now and Kevin is ramping up for the next project and all.

[Ryall]

Hey, I've never discriminated against anyone. Hell, most of the pieces come from people I've yet to meet in person, so I don't know their sex, race, sexual orientation, anything--the 'Net is actually much more democratic than other areas in that I judge people only on writing ability and ideas.

This thing with us not having enough women seems to come up every few months, and the lack of women is never due to lack of me looking for them, it's just been a lack of people offering ideas that would work here.

We ARE going to have a piece from the Village Voice's Amy Taubin soon, though.

Otherwise, until I survive this wedding in April, I'm not looking to add any new writers, male or female just because I can't handle any increased work right now.

[karmattack]

Sounds fair, mmmm-kay.

[FanGirl]

It's cool. I was just wondering. You've got no complaints here. It just crossed my mind is all. The site is in not lacking for anything. I just was curious if it ever came up.

I know you've got the whole wedding stress stuff. Deep breaths and focus on the honeymoon and all the goodies you'll be receiving.

Goodies? Is that what the young kids are calling it now?

[FanGirl]

I probably should have reversed that. All the free presents and then the honeymoon. See, this is why I'm not a writer.

[Threadkiller]

Speaking of writers who aren't women but whose last names sound like a woman's first name....You should all go check out Chance Shirley's first column on the 'shoot about indie filmmaking. At least, I liked it.

[Razorback]

I am willing to write articles from the female perspective. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Of all the men I know, you do the best female to male translation, so I would not be against that.

But when you write said column, will you also be dressing like a woman and not touch your penis because you have a headache? You know, envelope yourself in the position.

[Razorback]

I will adapt to my role well. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

<font color="purple">I don't know. I'm not sure you can handle the concept of waxing ones legs....or bikini area..</font color>

[Razorback]

I have done it before! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

RB

[ILovePapaSmurf]

<font color="purple">Really? Dare I even ask why?</font color>

[Razorback]

Because she asked me too... and I liked her hairless. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

RB

[ILovePapaSmurf]

<font color="purple">Ok...Have you tried to wax your own legs? /forums/images/icons/wink.gif</font color>

[karmattack]

I've had waxing done. If that's all you got, bring it on!

[Razorback]

Nah... never.

<font color="purple">Oh, there is a lot more. How to avoid cramps during your 'friendly' time of the month, how to get your man to give you the perfect orgasm and many others...You get the idea, right?</font color>

[Mighty_Wingman]

Though male orgasms vary slightly in intensity from one experience to the next, I would say the difference is negligible.

I could write an essay about this but my advice, if you want your man to have the perfect orgasm :
1) Put out.
2) Try out a different position at least once a week.

That's it ... Really ! There are no secret buttons to push. No hidden erogeneous zones.

Sorry , I can't help with the cramps.

[Razorback]

Pay attention... this is what she said:

R.B.,

Ya know sometimes I think you take everything a little too seriously.

It's called " humor " dude. Lighten up a little.

I guess if you knew me a little better you'd know when I was joking . Or maybe if you could've seen the expression on my face when I typed it.

I guess I'm the only one laughing. Oh well... Now , where the hell is that drawing board ?

[Razorback]

I guess if you knew me you wouldn't take everything I said as being so serious. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif Less than handful of people who come to this site "know me" and I bet if they were so inclined they would tell you that in the real world I am very much like the site personality... and nothing at all.

RB-

Not that you want my advice, or even care what I think, but if you didn't make such a concentrated effort to sound like such an [censored] all the time, people wouldn't think you were an [censored]. The only time you have anything positive to say is when you are flirting with someone, otherwise, you project an attitude like your shit don't stink and everyone else's does. My $.02, which I'm sure will get me burned- after all, you're the only one around here with a valid opinion, right?

You are right... I don't. More importantly, I don't need it.

I didn't read past what is quoted because it is obviously going to center around your perception of me, which means absolutely nothing.

RB

[Efexeye]

To you. To the rest of us, of whom many share my opinion, it is VERY meaningful. But then why whould I expect a blowhard who is never wrong to listen to advice, anyway? I guess being a dick makes you happy. Good for you!

Oh, come on. Of course you did. Nobody can not read something written to or about them. That's the power of the printed word. If you don't like what someone's saying on the phone you can just hang up, but you have to know what someone wrote. You read it. Admit.

[Razorback]

You may believe that, but what I said is absolutely true.

RB

[Efexeye]

You forget- we are dealing with the superhuman Razorback here. He is completely different from anyone else you have ever met. Oh, and better, smarter, more mature, more "in the know", etc..... /forums/images/icons/smirk.gif

[TomHarrington]

Someone's instigating trouble. Is it pick on Razorback week here at the Shoot? Now stop being a rabblerouser, you.
