Why do women hate forums like TB?

I think you have just answered your own question.

Lots of guys on this forum suffer from bad cases of testosterone poisoning, to quote Commander Ivanova. And a lot of women haven't developed the thick skins necessary to shrug off some of the stuff some guys think is funny but which women find somewhat offensive. And thus they leave before they get a chance to see the mods sit hard on certain people.
 
Guys, guys...and you'll be among the ones complaining there aren't more women on this site. And if someone complains about your jokes, you'll say something about it's supposed to be humorous, and we should realize you are just joking. And if a few of the very few female members of this site get offended by the jokes and quits, you'll be calling them wusses, make fun of them for getting their feelings hurt instead of giving as good as they get, and worse. 'if someone told similar jokes about men, we'd just laugh and go on.' Perhaps. But you need to remember that women aren't men (thank ghu) and we don't think the same, or react to stuff the same.
 
I believe it's because most women that like bassists cannot type because their large breasts get in the way. And if you're left nipple is resting on the keyboard, causing you to misspell a word or two, the grammar nazi's jump on you like a pair of 38DD's after a show...

There's also the fact that all women are colorblind, so they can't appreciate the subtle hue's of the forum that subconsciously keep us coming back day after day.

In many cases it's about a complete lack of empathy. Many of the "get over it" crowd catch feelings faster than anyone when it's their time to be offended.
:D
