| ...for the girls Thanks Neal! Obviously you are a REAL man 
When I was asked to do an article on the subject, I thought "this is a sticky one" - I feel strongly and express myself freely about matters that concern women, but I also believe in getting along in harmony with all my fellow human beings ![Food Smiley 004[1]](http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/images/smilies/food-smiley-004[1].gif) , so I tried to stay with the facts without being too disapproving (of other human beings ![Food Smiley 004[1]](http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/images/smilies/food-smiley-004[1].gif) )  |

| Interesting that it's only guys who have responded to Sue's post so far - yup I ready it too and wouldn't argue with any of it - maybe the women are all too busy woodworking to read it ....

| I tried to say "Ta Gill" but it wouldn't accept it (message too short).
So: thanks Gill  |

| That is a great article Sue.
I have to admit that my daughter is a much better woodworker than my sons are.
I really think that scrolling is a cross over activity that is suited for people of all genders....to be politically correct 
I am not sure if all the barriers between us will ever come down but I hope people can see and encourage art and talent where ever it lies.
We need more articles like yours to open eyes and minds.
Good work.
