Is there a CC for girls only ?

  Hi. I'm part of a good CC right now BUT would like to know if there is ( or are ) such a thing as a CC for girls only. 

  I'm not 100% sure that I will stay where I am so I would like to be prepared in case i do leave. 

  but I will say this : what I really care about is a CC where RESPECT is the #1 rule ! ...and I would want to end up in a CC where the majority of members are active...not only by playing the game , but by staying informed thru the club forum and by responding in that forum. And I would not want to be in a club where there is a condition such as : ''must play the CC tournaments regulary or out''. Or be in a CC where half the members haven't played in months !

  I favor a '' girls only '' club only because we ( women ) tend to be more carefull about the way we speak to others ...with respect and appreciation. So far , since I have been here on WGT , I have seen only guys using harsh words and crude language. But please gentlemen , do not be offended ! I'm not putting all men in the same basquet here.

  Thank you for any respectfull feedback. If I have a list of potential CC's , I will be happy.

  edit : tend to be = in general. The reason is simple : being more emotional , we sure know how a simple bad word can be hurtfull. I do think that we have a better understanding about the damage a harsh word can cause.

  I'd bet any G.I.R.L.S only CC's, have a few posers, ....

   

  Good luck!

  Absolutely, I couldn't agree more. We also value respect, especially in regards to who is allowed in a country club or not.

  I hate to sound stern, but WGT will not allow any country club to discriminate it's entrants based on gender. Of course, we can't proactively prevent this, but if it is discovered, disciplinary action may be taken.

  I understand your need for respect, but imagine swapping the genders in your post. It's never ok to say "X gender is superior to Y gender".

  I did not consider a '' girls only '' club to be a discrimination ...outside WGT , there are many groups only for guys or for girls and i don't see the problem there ! Sometimes , it is even healtier to have groups where people feel more confortable. And many of these groups do bring a sense of belonging. But if here it is not allowed , so be it I guess !

  I never said that a specific gender is superior than another nor do I believe in such a thing ! I only mentionned what I have seen here so far ( concerning the language ) thru the chat box , the wall posts and the forums. Nothing more. 

  edit : and i have a question for you WGTpizza :

  what about all those CC's that will only accept players that are pros and above ? Or players that have an avg better than 72 or 70 ? Is it not to discriminate against people ? ...that makes 3 questions ...sorry ...lol

  I do not wish to start a long debate over that but would appreciate a better explanation. Thank you.

  There is a club called tee up ladies golf i believe. It's supposed to be just for ladies, but it seems all you need is a women avatar pic. Needless to say there are alot of big breasted teenage women there! I would suggest that some are probably men. (surprise surprise.) The owner even tried to recroot iconan (WGTicon) lol who is as we know a man just with a pic of a lady. 

  People you need to realize that if a avatar pic is a lady is does'nt mean the person behind it always is.

  When you say:

  carolineRobert:

  You are also saying that men, being the only other option, are the opposite of what you describe.

  There is nothing to debate here, there will be zero gender discrimination on our forums.

  You even used the word "BETTER" in this passage. You are saying "women are better than men" in this aspect, and we won't abide by this. Please post no more statements of the sort, or you may be subject to moderation.

  I think you may be trying to goad me in to an argument? This is a game. A game with rankings. A game where players have benefits/detriments from playing with people in specific ranks.

  So no, picking who you want to play this game with based on their game performance is no where close to discrimination. The subject at hand is gender discrimination on our forums, and it won't be tolerated.

  Contrary to what you'd expect, an all female CC is not going to be full of rainbows & unicorns. I belonged to one a long time ago (not that one), and it was a huge pile of drama and cattiness.

  As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for.

  I was not ! ...my questions were honest ones. I truly wanted to understand. But i must say that I should have clicked on '' posting guidelines'' first ! ...my mistake.

  the part where I explained why I favor a girls only CC was unecessary ...and for that , I apologize. I never intended to offend you or anyone else. Please , accept my apology. I will be more carefull in the futur.

  me trying to be classy ! ...lol
