female skinners
Sunday, September 23, 2007 by Vampothika | Discussion: Community
I am just wondering, are there any master female skinners? and how long will it take before females are recognized as equals as males on this site, and get promoted almost as fast as the males........ As a female, i personally dont believe that we are. I feel that its very hard to be recognized as a serious skinner being female......

Affirmative action makes everyone a loser.

I didnt need someone interpreting(and expanding upon)my thoughts.(who said ANYTHING about leaving or skinning in a certain style just to please the boys or that a feminine skinning style was somehow inferior?)
Speaking of lady skinners..I really miss Keila,Chrissy and Xerraire.

its all in the wings ...
True - but Im just wondering why so many women have disappeared. Is it because there are so few skins left that appeal to women in a certain age group ? I really don't know.
I also got the same impression about your statement that Jazzymjr did - that was why I asked for clarification. I know sometimes what I type and what my brain is saying come out in 2 different forms. That was why I asked you to elaborate.

It's generally accurate to state that more than 50% of the planet is of the 'fairer sex', so, if one extrapolates it's possible that more than 50% of people likely to want to skin their computers/environment are also female.
Reality seems to have it that that is not quite the case, though I don't think any definitive survey or head-counting has ever been done on the stats....
It is at least HOPED that what ends up as skins provided for the receptive community/public is representational....supply/demand.
I see no legitimacy regarding a perception of inferiority of what is quoted as 'girlie skins'. They are/SHOULD be seen no differently to any other categorized 'variety', eg black/dark or light....or monochromatic/grey ones.
Discriminating between/amongst skin types is as problematic/absurd as any other form of discrimination. Personal preferences affect what a person downloads. They do not/WILL NOT affect the site's reception/acceptance of them.
I like grey ones. I'm pathologically TIRED of blue ones....[there's 16.7 million frequencies of light/colour that we're supposed to be able to distinguish....why must so many [skins] be blue? But that's me]. Everyone has personal taste....and as I said, there'll be a considerable number who really 'GO' for the ones considered 'feminine', just as there'll be people grabbing everything 'Halloween' [something that leaves a non-US person [me] quite cold].
The history of skinning is well highlighted with female skinners. Unfortunately, as with their male brethren....they come and they also go.
Wincustomize.com isn't interested in genders....we're interested in Skinners....

IR, I'm glad you clarified what you meant. Like, Fairyy~, I too, feel like I am penalized at times for skinning in a feminine style. Sometimes I get so discouraged, that I have thought of leaving. But, if I do that, it would be like me cutting off my nose to spite my face. I was just expressing my thoughts. I did not infer that anyone here was trying to get rid of me.
WC is a great site, and I have made quite a few friends here. I also have received a lot of support, espcially when I first started making skins.
LOL! Re-coloring a skin pink doesn't make the skin feminine, IR! Nice try, though!

I would happily lend *my* efforts to that effort.

Make sure that all rulls and proceudures that are established for anything are fair and just and without thought as to whom you are looking at. That's all that can be done.
There will always be someone that will feel they were over looked for some reason. That will never change not matter what you do. By the way, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. To me that shows that the person cares and wants to be part of the community.
I wrote this in another post but, "Life is like babies, it doesn't come with an instructional manuel".
Have a great day.

i think the main idea is WomenSkinners here need to be themself and skin for fun if they love what they made and speaks around about that to others (men and women) THE word is launched: You can be a woman and make skin and get fun with that as a hobby or more.
Again the problem is not the numbers of download or ratings it's more being happy with what you do.
If you are happy to skin and tell it you'll import some more people in skinning community and maybe more females.
In the same time, If you are happy to skin and be a part of the community day after day no mater how good/feminine/masculine/..../Gothic/.... yours skins are. Cause if you hang up in forums in helping around in same times as you make skins (not only on WC) (that's what i call being active) people will go on your page to see who you are and look at your works to see it also.
All is there i think: Be happy, have fun, help others, skin for YOU as well as for others, Speak around and express that you are happy in the skinning community.
