Train sexism

[pfx]

@Woody - I almost fell off my seat laughing. I saw this thread start up and pretty much thought the same as you do. Despair describes it aptly.

I haven't been on this forum since March and this is why...this place is filled with rubbish, garbage, non-sense, hogwash, what ever your preffered accent wants to call it. I call it crap. It's like people think this forum has to be filled with new threads all the time. I can remember when people just enjoyed the existing ones and actually posted constructive REAL stuff in them, now its like a day care center in here. Trainz sexism? Lord help us. Why don't you call the jerks at the ACLU, I'm sure they'll assist you in this matter. If you honestly think railfans are sexist for referring to trains as females, you have an issue, a serious issue. Can no one enjoy the nostalgia of old terms and sayings anymore. Its all considered sexist or racist or somehow against someone. Who freaking cares. This is coming from someone who is neither sexist nor racist. Yet, pity crap like this aggravates the hell out of me. Yes, I know what you mean. Yes, I think its the dumbest thing I've read on this forum yet, and for any of you that remember the words "Strasburg" and "DannyPhantom" in Trainz Community a while back, you'll know that I'm pretty serious about just how stupid this is. Welcome to railroading, I call my museum's SD40 'her' and 'she' and 'old girl' and always will, because I'm proud of her and thats not going to change anytime soon. Take your non-sense elsewhere.

To the rest of you sensible Trainzers, I've missed you guys and until next time I feel up to checking on the day care...

Cheers,
Woody

Straight to the point. Gotta love it.

I've asked some serious modeling questions in here, hard to get answers.
I do have a couple guy's that I can depend on though. Yah, I'm a rookie.

But this thread has had 20 hits in just a couple days.

Go figure!

Wow, didn't think it would get that response...

Sorry if I annoyed anyone.

and before I get my backside kicked, sometimes it happened in Thomas (you know, with the whole Male characters and female coaches,) until recently.

This was raised in ernest the engine car as well. (not gonna post the link to said video, can be a bit rude)

And again, my apologies.

Agreed. The reason above is why I didn't post here.

Some rail companies have named trains after organisations as well so broadens out the issue.
