Rancid sir if this makes us demeaning to ladies in paintball then what about the britsh teams behaiour in portugal and your mags article on the danish ladies I am sorry but ......................
STB - Chicks in Gym Skirts!)
- Thread starter Gillie
- Start date
Sparklie has a point Rancid, But then of course then there is the centre page spread of your good self in the "Knitting Circle" to answer for ....
Yes I know, how would I have seen it well my granny has to get her fun somewhere these days and I have to read it to her as her eyes aren't too good these days....but she can see the pics ok

Well this is an interesting turn of events. I would never before have thought of Rancid as someone who might keep the works of Simone de Beauvoir next to his Combat and Survival Magazines
Taking a somewhat different tack on this argument might it be that by adopting the male stereotypical view and making it their own, the 6E Chicks are in fact acting in a way most condusive to any feminist advancement in paintball?
If I may draw a slightly obtuse parallel the success of the Gay rights lobby in recent years has been due to a large part in their adopting of the stereotypes leveled against them and co-opting phrases like "Queer" for themselves
Could it be the case that the schoolgirl impersonating ladies playing STB are in fact striking a blow for the emancipation of female paintballers by doing so?
Okay... I admit it I just want to see them play dressed up as schoolgirls myself
but that doesn't mean the pseudo-intellectual neo-feminist tract above isn't a valid positionI'll sponsor you all Sparklie. £5 per player okay or are you after a certain amount per bruise like Tony says?
Hey Sean, I wouldn't need too much talking round!Originally posted by Sean
rancid!
if it winds you up that much,
how about you play in school uniform like gym skirt etc
and the ladies put on a suit or something?
but i just dont wanna see it
Petuna/patchouli(?), if you want to talk about being demeaned in paintball then I'm sure there's those willing to listen!
I have an opinion on the piece in pgi, but I don't want to wash dirty laundry in public.
Mark - for someone who until a few years ago was a woman, I'd keep a low profile on this one me old beauty.
I know I'm on dodgy ground here, but at least we're talking about an issue and not whether it'll rain on said day!
My support goes to the Chicks on this issue. We cant be exploited if its our own free will. Good luck & raise lots of wonga for the nspcc. Put me down for a fiver Sparklie, i'll give it to you on 26th. I was going to have done something similar this Sat (Jocks & Boxers 2002) where e were playing in our undies (guys & gals so no exploitation there!) but sadly event cancelled. It's surprising how so many people you thought were your friends will sponsor you for an amount 'per welt' rather than just giving you a flat amout regardless! Good luck at STB!
Rancid you dout my feminst credentials oh how I laugh and my grand motherand great grand mother turn in their rose bushes (they were cermated)
I am 4th generation feminst stock!
Feminisum has evolved, even germane greer has changed her tack the smart money wears her padded bra, heels and sex appeal on her arm these days.
The true asperations of feminsium was equallity and yes there is no reason why tecnically women should not make dam fine paintballers. If not be as good or better than the men.
Women have realised we don't want to be equal.
Yes we want equal pay for an equal standard of work.
(good choice great grand mother both her daughter went into professions that had equal pay and oppertunity and this was 1900!!!)
We want to keep the vote (again thanks great grand mother womens labour movement)
But and the big but stops here we will never be truly equal and I for one would not want to be! Yes I am physically stronger than most women and a jill of all trades ok rancid you can spell and are gramatically correct but can you lay bricks, a patio, put up coving, shelfs? Can you cook, give birth, ok we all know you can knitt and embrodier.
But being a woman is about being the best possible woman you can be and if that means on a paintball feild one day or changing nappys the next so be it. There is nothing wrong with accepting the diffrences in our sexes and enjoying them for what they are, women are great comunictors and are better at team work and doing more than one thing at once, taking that on board god help you guys.
We are genetically programed for pain.
If you want more lady ballers and I say if.
1 better toilets they are scarry.
2 clothes that fit.
3 I tried to get some paintball boots in a 6 could I could I h*&%.
4 better breast protection we alll have them in all sizes and shapes and we don't want breast cancer.
I hate to say it but rec sites are not geared towards girls and thats were most of us started mine being the exception.
As women in paintball we satnd out and we all know sex sells whos exploting who here ?
sparklie off to cook a curry, watch telly and paint her nails
