Is Blonde inherently sexist?

[Claw75]

It's a weird one because most of us are so used to the name now we don't give it a second thought - I do remember when I was first told about this place I thought it was an odd name, but it didn't suggest to me any kind of sexism. Name aside, one of the big draws of this forum for me when I joined was that there were a lot of active female members and it was very orientated towards the fun/social poker player.

If I was playing devil's advocate, i'd say that it was the logo, rather than the name, that could potentially give out those kind of signals.

Get off the Internet. Haven't you got hoovering or dishes that need doing ffs?

On my way to a work-related training course- they let women have jobs and everything these days hopefully there will be some men there in case I don't understand some of it

Would actually quite like tikay (or someone who knows) to answer the question at some point please, as I am interested in the answer. Was it a(n) (intentional) mistake or was it supposed to be a bit of a joke? Or something else? Dancer?

Wasn't it because Dave had his hair dyed blonde?

Dave's nickname was "elblondie" from which blonde poker (small b) was derived. Doubt any grammatical inaccuracies were even considered

Simple as that

Am guessing it's not Dave in the logo though (if it is, he kept it all well hidden!)

[TightEnd]

logo is before my time

its probably the bit that jars against some sensibilities nearly nine years on!

Maureen first told me about blonde, the name actually put me off.

It was after meeting Colclough that I joined.

A couple of years ago my stepdaughter looked over my shoulder at the pc and said " blonde poker, is that like poker for thick people"

The name isn't sexist, blonde can refer to men or women in English.

As has been said, the logo is though.
