Ya know, in this politically correct world, there are very very few things that men haven't been compelled to include women in. There are not a lot of cigar smokers to begin with and a very small percentage of them are women. And there's nothing wrong with that.
One thing I like about BOTL is that (as far as I can tell), it's all guys here. We can have our smokes, tell off-color jokes, swill booze, argue about sports, and fart (virtually) and nobody gets their panties in a wad, as they say.
I've been a member of a number of non-cigar internet forums where, sooner or later, a guy tells a joke or makes an off-hand comment and a woman jumps all over him for being an alleged sexist and misogynist. A guy can't really defend himself against such a charge because to deny it makes him a de facto sexist. Then more females (and PC males) dogpile him. Next thing you know, everyone's walking on eggshells for fear of offending somebody.
Shit like that starts happening around here... I'm gone. Any of you girls want to argue about it, I'll fart on ya.
