It doesnt matter if your a male or female...

Pull out the calculus formulas and you might get poked fun at, regardless of your sex (just ask Wouter)....

Misogyny
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Look up misogyny in
Wiktionary, the free dictionary.Misogyny (pronounced /mɪˈsɒʤɪni/) is hatred (or contempt)[1] of women.[2][3] Misogyny is parallel to misandry — the hatred of men. Misogyny is also comparable with misanthropy,[4] which is the hatred of humanity generally. The antonym of misogyny is philogyny, love towards women. Those holding misogynic beliefs can be of either sex.[citation needed] Marcus Tullius Cicero reports that Greek philosophers considered misogyny to be caused by gynophobia, a fear of women.[5] In the late 20th century, feminist theorists proposed misogyny as both a cause and result of patriarchal social structures.

Wow, I thought it was a joke, not to poke fun at you Tami, but just how smart some people are, and how dumb the rest of us are. : )

Y'know,

I'm kinda tired of all this misogyny. The chauvinism expressed at this site is phenomenal.

I post something, however correct it might be, and one of you

boys

have got to argue it, every damn time. Yet when a dude posts something, however incorrect it might be, nobody challenges the assertion.

The remark was meant to forestall any hijacking of the thread from one about calculating force on boards to one about Bernoulli v. Newton v.etc. which has been hashed out interminably. Since I'm female you don't ever want to believe what I have to say, I guess that has to be what the deal is, so do a search.

I back up what I say with data and equations, since it's the way I was taught to do. If you don't understand something, don't be snide, just go learn about it, which is what my references are meant to offer.

Come on relax Tammi this site doesn't have a go at females I don't understand calculus either and would have made the same joke. Thanks for posting to the thread, I know your right because if you go out in 20kts on the wire keep the boat flat and pull your centre boards up the sail pushes the boat more sideways than forward.
regards
