I disagree most of your points here VP Sir; please read my views in red.


Following could be a few reasons:

1. They are traditionally very shy

I don't think Jats girls are shy or timid by any means, they're in fact very daring at times and take fight by horns.


2. They are not allowed by the family to mix-up so easily with outsiders/strangers

How family would know that their girls are mixing up on Jatland? Rather this is a platform where they can share their ideas and viewpoints with freedom.

3. They are comparatively less computer savvy

Disagree! Nowadays if someone don't know Computer or Internet .. generally treated as illiterate.


4. Often they have to be occupied with household affairs like 'choolha-chowki' and 'gobar-buhari'

This affairs are passe .. I don't think any family practice these things in city moreover girls are losing interest in house-hold works and cooking in particular.

5. They do not have much interest in matters like politics, economics and social reforms etc. which form major part of discussion on social forums

This is the reason that makes sense. Rarely here girls take part in important matters like these, they generally are indulged more in Love or Romance related stuff like sher-o-shayri, romantic movies n' songs etc.

5. Last but not the least - general tendency of our men-folk to misbehave with them

Slightly agree but not much cuz' Jatnis are too furious and if somebody dares to misbehave he gets punishment without any delay.

Now in my point of view, main reasons/points of their less presence on JL and participation in discussions are Lack of Interest, Attitude Problem, Take things personally, easily hurt and creates scene often & Lack of Intellectual ability etc.

I know many fingers will be pointed on me by Jatnis here n' I might be labeled as male chauvinist by feminists here! :)

Very nice reply.

Let's assign ranks to ur points to make it simple and effective for the target audience

1. Lack of Intellectual ability & Attitude problem.
2. Unability to conclude & arrive at mutual consensus, rather locking horns and derailing the topic, and having a destructive approach rather than solving it out with a cool head. Kisi baat ko jaayaz tarike se solve karne ki bajai... dusare ki bejjati karke/tamasha bana ke argument conclude karna yahan ki adat ban chuki hai..(and that's equally applicable to gents also).
3. Insensible post/thread sometimes, that others might not be intrested in. Forgeting that the whole world is watching them.
4. Easily hurt and retaliating then with stronger words and making things ugly for themselves and to the person whom they are replying to. Which again provokes reciprocation with more foolishnes.

PEACE ~

Aman ki Aasha...

Guys,

There is no point in playing a blame game here. There are online forums where female participation is much higher then what is there on Jatland. The reasons you have given are generic and should apply equally to other sites, even if they are true. The problem in genuine and local to Jatland.

Some reasons has to be certainly "Jatland" specific. I have been a regular for a while now and I could notice females coming and going, (males too). The reason why they left Jatland can not just be attributed to "females". If they are coming and then leaving Jatland then there must be something that is driving them away.

One of the ways to solve this is for a female member (simply because a female would be more open to a female) to take initiative and collate the reasons from fellow female members. The Jatland core team can then decide on the ways of positively discussing the problems and finding a resolution.

An immediate step that could be taken (in the meanwhile) is to nominate a "female member" as a moderator and involve her in the decision making on the "reported posts" from females.

I think, encoraging women participation would be in the intrest of all Jatlanders. It would help Jatland's maturity and growth.
 
Wondering, if this is relevant to the discussion?

Active participation of jat woman is less than jat men. Jat Woman don't come forward publically and share their views. This trend appears similar to what we actually see in our community - in its public sphere. To me it means education of jat woman is not making much difference on their role in Jat society. The mindset of so called educated Jat men towards educated Jat women is similar to how it used to be when women were not educated.

Jit Bhai, I submit my counter-comments in black, in reply to your red comments as under:

1. Shyness should not be confused with timidity. For example a female boxer may give a hard punch to someone who tries to make lewd advances on her but she may not be very extrovert in expressing herself on a public platform. That is what I meant.

2. Majority of Jat females do not go against the wishes of their family chieftains/elders. There must be people without internet access (especially in rural areas). The male members can go to the nearby cyber-shops but females are normally not allowed to have this luxury due to security reasons. I have seen mothers escorting their daughters to the cyber café – probably to have a watch on the girl’s chatter box.

3. I humbly disagree that those who are not computer literate should be considered as illiterates. It is an utterly wrong perception. Going by that argument, most of our scientists, Professors, scholars and litterateurs, who are hardly computer savvy, are illiterate. I am afraid they know much about PC except typing, saving and printing the files in MS Word. (m sure de no nothin abt chatter-box lingo lik c ya, n, tc, ****, luv, luvin, wtf……n …f**k*n etc.. )

4. ‘Choolha-Chaaki’ and ‘gobar-buhari’ are just desi metaphors. The basic intention was to emphasise the point that they have to do a lot of house-hold work and find hardly any time for coming to JL Chaupal. These things are, however, not affaires passé. It is still a reality that females in rural areas have to do all these works inspite of the fact that many of them are literate. Moreover, majority of Jats still reside in villages contrary to your assumption.

5.
Thank you for being agreeable that this point of mine made some sense to you.

6. Thank you again for ‘slightly agreeing’ on this point too. I also ‘slightly’ agree with your belief that ‘Jatnis’ are so furious’ that if someone dares to misbehave with them they are apt to give punishment. Of course, there are such Jatnis in here on JL . So guys watch out!!

I think the moment a woman comes on board, that itself causes many men to 'poke' her. There are so few women here!!!
I also agree that women here are not perfect either. I also think that it is by continuing to actively participate, woman (and men) would learn a lot about the real world situation as it exists for them.

What is interesting is that the interpersonal situation between men and woman participants is quite similar to the real world situation as it exists in Jat community.

It is a good suggestion. I remember a lady member (Smt. Sunita Hooda) used to be a moderator. It is still a mystery why she resigned. Was she made to resign due to some peer pressure or pressure from other moderators?? I remember none of the lady members has ever bothered to raise any question about the exit of one 'female moderator'. Isn't it a reflection of their apathy towards their own cause and lukewarm attitude towards JL.

There was a time time when more than one moderators were females but still female participation in the forums was almost negligible.

Bang on.
The virtual world reflets like the REAL world.

I believe this is the only reason. Women in general (irrespective of jat / non jat) are not interested in such topics. You will seldom find two woman discussing these topics whereas men when together could easily end up discussing these. Even if you look at politics, there are very less woman compared to man in parliament and other bodies. I am sure even similar forums of other communities wont be having an encouraging picture as such.

Dear Singh Saahb
I m completely agree with U.
So far as I am concerned, I've been using the computer from the last 8-9 years. I've been the proud owner of the PC from the last 8-9 years. I am a freelancer translator and professionally doing the job work from the last 4 years. Obviously, I've an internet connection and it is 4 yrs old too. The main thing is that I don't have any knowledge about that particular glossary which U mentioned above(c ya, n, tc, ****, luv, luvin, wtf……n …f**k*n etc...). Though I face it many times. And personally, I don't want to know it. So your reply to Mr. cooljat seems very logical to me, personally.

The topic was started without any input from the person who initiated it. Mr. VP Singh gave some input but some members diverted the topic. It is very strange to note that instead of putting the topic back on track the person who initiated this topic got entangled with those persons who derailed the topic. As per my understanding the major reason for lack of active membership and participation by female members is at sr. 5 of Mr. VP Singh comments which could be reproduced as under:
They do not have much interest in matters like politics, economics and social reforms etc. which form major part of discussion on social forums

I would like to mention here that female members also misbehave here and it has happened with me. Instead of responding to her comments I kept quite. I had been very active on this site a couple of years ago. I lost interest because majority of members on this forum participate in jokes and fun related topics. If they start any topic then they do not monitor it, provide feedback, summarise and conclude it. Current topic is a good example of it.
 
Besides the other very valid points raised by fellow members, I think one very important point raised by Ravinder Jeet is that of the increasingly Skewed sex ratio in the northern belt (especially among Jats). It is becoming rare to hear that any Jat family in the neighbourhood/family or friend circle has been blessed with a baby girl. More often than not, it is a Baby Boy. Educated and urban families are gradually turning into two-son families.
 
.....i think d women's comments already in this thread r showing y there r less women on JL...
when u ask them ,they say they r very modern...nd when sm shares smthing that a modern women can accept..they react on it....
nd when u suggest nt to use react on smone or fight then they start reacting on u....
actually d intention of starting this thread only shows ,y women r less on JL...
WHENEVR I SEE ANY WOMEN'S COMMENT ON JL.. ,I FIND IT REACTING ON SM ONE...

example :
urmila ji abusing mother nd sister to 1 writer..

comment by me: urmila ji . plz dont be bad at words...the thread is not so dirty that u hv to go to d extent of abusing the writer....he might hv seen it useful nd shared it..thats all..i dont think he had any intention of disturbing anybody

urmila ji comment : Kindly mind your words and language - don't put words in my mouth. Sick people!

i was really shocked.i again read my post nd didnt find anything wrong.. nd wd one reqest of nt to use bad words, she commented me as sick person..
in fact i m finding women post r more abusing ng provoking on JL than men..without any relevant discussion..

Mr. Gulia has rightly observed that some female members also misbehave with their male counterparts. Ironically, some females are active members of some fringe groups of JL with a manifesto of creating some nuisance value and some gullible girls/ladies have been working on the behest of ring masters. At times, some female members react in an abrasive manner to innocuous comments. Except for a very few wayward philistines, most of the boys are innocent and respectful towards elders and ladies. However, some of them may not be very articulate in their expressions but that cannot be construed as misbehaviour. It becomes incumbent on the female members also to show some maturity and not to over-react at slight provocations.

Sometimes even some 'pretty women' give 'unpretty' remarks unmatched to their profile.
