As a woman, I am offended by the the evidently patriarchal name assigned to this subforum. And frankly, it is just plain gross.

Here are some alternative names which I hope the administration can seriously consider.

- INTP Sub-forum
- INTP-Only Area
- INTP Room
- INTP HQ
- INTP Enclave
- INTP Bunker
- INTP Sanctuary

or

- INTPvagina
- INTP Uterus
- INTP Box

Thank you.

I had been sort of partial to the INTP Speakeasy. But, now that I think about it, I like one of your suggestions better:


- INTP Box

Yeah, this is exactly what I'm saying. And that it sounds gross.

It's you who makes it that way girlie. Get you mind out of the gutter!!

INTPness is just as legit as saying Coolness, business and Happyness!



P.S. Yes, "girlie" is an intentional pun.

"Happpyness" is not legit.

Plus, your input doesn't count 'cause you infiltrated us! ;p

Of course "Happpyness" isn't legit, you added too many P's, you've added three when you should have a PP. You need the PP.

That was a typo! *angry*

Now when are we changing the name of this subforum to something that won't make me puke? <_<

Start a poll. You need more folks to agree with you.

The majority of users here are male.

I'm not starting a poll, just pointing out that the name doesn't sound right, and there are many others that can replace it.

According to the information you just gave us, I'd say the name fits. Mass of INTPness = Majority of the INTP's have a Pness. And if they didn't they shouldn't be here in the first place. This is not Mass of INTJness.

You see, Dr. Haight? This is how women are. It's like that scene from White Men Can't Jump where Rosie Perez is telling Woody Harrelson about how, when she complains of being thirsty, she just wants him to empathize rather than try to solve her problem by actually getting her a glass of water.

So, to you, Madrigal, I empathize. I really do. But, I'm not going to solve your problem.

I actually championed the name b/c I think it's humorous. (And I have a vagina. I think.)

We all know who came up with it, ahem.

You asked, and I was just trying to answer the question.



Or, pm Rhu and work on persuading him to agree to a name change.

Haha, I know exactly what you're talking about and I'm so not like that. But, I still think the name is inadequate.

I guess I'll just have to stalk Rhu now.

I just figured that attending the "Mass of INTPosity" was a little too cumbersome for adherents to the INTP way to pronounce. :puppy:

I mean, it somehow felt like a huge thing to use the "-ness" suffix. If you feel yourself crushed under the weight of this new forum, Madrigal, I'm truly sorry, and hope there is something that I can do for you, personally, that might make your objection to our shared and continued use of "INTPness" go away?

- INTP Box
I like "A Mass of INTPness in a Box". A place where INTPs of both sexes can connect.



Edit: I was seeing how long I could go without posting in this subforum. A test of abstinence, if you will. Curse you, Madrigal!

INTPness

I never noticed that before.

Damn, Madrigal, now every time I look at "Mass of INTpness" I'm going to think Massive Penis.

Thanks. <_<

I can accept that compromise.

Oh. I didn't even get it, it was so obscure, until I read further down the thread.

(And, heck, I have a LOT of P-ness!)

I hope this was a joke.

I am in favor of it being renamed "A Mass of INTPness in a Box".

I as an INTP (Sooooooo INTP) I would like to see women with equal rights to this sub forum, the Patriarchy has gone on long enough. :mad:
