An increase in the influence of women in public life has often been associated with national decline. The later Romans complained that, although Rome ruled the world, women ruled Rome. In the tenth century, a similar tendency was observable in the Arab Empire, the women demanding admission to the professions hitherto monopolised by men. ‘What,’ wrote the contemporary historian, Ibn Bessam, ‘have the professions of clerk, tax-collector or preacher to do with women? These occupations have always been limited to men alone.’ Many women practised law, while others obtained posts as university professors. There was an agitation for the appointment of female judges, which, however, does not appear to have succeeded.

Soon after this period, government and public order collapsed, and foreign invaders overran the country. The resulting increase in confusion and violence made it unsafe for women to move unescorted in the streets, with the result that this feminist movement collapsed. The disorders following the military takeover in 861, and the loss of the empire, had played havoc with the economy. At such a moment, it might have been expected that everyone would redouble their efforts to save the country from bankruptcy, but nothing of the kind occurred. Instead, at this moment of declining trade and financial stringency, the people of Baghdad introduced a five-day week.

Girls should get on the surf bandwagon too I guess (everyphuckingbody else is). That's fine. But the marketing push has got to stop. Girls surfing little waves. Girls surfing Big waves. Girls towing. Girls taking pictures. Girls teaching girls to surf. Girls with rights bc they got snaked. Girls dropping in on the shoulder at Waimea and claiming. Etc ad nauseam.

I just want to watch Mason vids and check the tides and complain with you chuckleheads. Sheesh already.
Dude, you're just sick of lame surfing content.
I love watching Mason vids and love to see Coco surfing too. She shreds.
The amount of lame AF male "pro" surfers that probably **** you off far outweigh any female presence.

Unless, you enjoy seeing this kind of BS....
 

Woke AF

@casa_mugrienta - rather comical coming from you considering you're ongoing love affair with GG on almost every thread. I hardly consider suggesting that the OP - spend less time consuming surf marketing BS and more time surfing an attack. Maybe you should sit this one out.
You went after him personally - didn't address his position - that's ad hominem.

As far as GG - he tends to personally attack or belittle everyone on the design forum on the regular if they have a contrary viewpoint. We're all idiots, he knows everything and flat bottommed surfboards are the best, concaves suck etc. This goes back to when he was spamming the f*ck out of the design forum and got called on it. Mocked him? Absolutely. Adhominem attacks? No. Not possible as I don't think he's ever actually made a coherent argument on a topic. Lack coherency is just his way.

It really says something when the historians you choose to quote are discredited British aristocrats whose work is dated by about three quarters of a century.:roflmao:

Not sure about the rest who post here, but I would gladly trade in all these "woke trolls" for some more abalone and witchipoo.

:unsure:
I would roast the woke trolls over a fire and serve them up with slaw, beans, and cold beers if it would get us more abolone and witchipoo.
