I read what Majestic had to say & ignored it because I didn't want to feed her fire. I knew that replying would only give her satisfaction. While reading through her posts though, I honestly thought that she was someone who probably had a lot of wrong done to her & that it was also probably a personal matter. However, I also thought that she was hiding behind a keyboard & trying to raise her self-esteem by voicing her opinion in a rather rude way because she could not voice her opinions about things in real life. There are ways to get your point across without having to be aggressive. Another thing, her arguments were based solely on belief, & beliefs are extremely difficult to change. Once they are hammered into you & you keep them that way up to your 20's & 30's, it's hammered into you.
Of course, it seems that many people still do not understand that society is ever changing & that what is seen as "right or wrong" & "good or bad" is ever changing as society develops & progresses towards new possibilities. It's a proven fact that many of those in the younger generations become more tolerable to things that were once seen as "wrong" or "bad." Also, no matter how much we want those prejudiced people to just go away, it won't happen. I agree with Grace. They'll stick around & there's really nothing we can do except ignore them. If we don't feed into the drama, then they'll eventually stop.
Another thing though, I don't understand why Majestic & those who are uncomfortable with men on the forum don't leave. There are a lot of great information here, but this isn't the only NBE forum out there. Also, they could just browse here for information without registering & posting their pictures. & Majestic really does give out misleading information to the newbies on this community. I had to correct her obviously failed attempt to research thoroughly into things to a new member on her personal program page. I don't think Majestic is here to help. Majestic gave out misleading information, which, I believe, is an idiotic thing to do. Don't give out false information if fact/evidence is extremely apparent & going to prove you wrong. I don't know if Majestic had any growth, but even if she DID, she shouldn't try to lessen other people's chances of it, especially since this forum was created in order to help people as much as possible.
Also, I never had a problem with men on this forum. I never even gave it a second thought. I thought it was amazing of Eve to do something like that, & Cheryl is one of my biggest inspirations! I didn't care that she was once a man. All that I was focused on was her SUCCESSFUL GROWTH; NOT her GENDER. After all, that's what this whole community is about!
Just decided to put my two cents [actually more lol] in this :]
