| Sorry Carol, there is no 'Gender' field with this software.

OK, I'm gonna try something ....
Et voila! (give or take a few accent marks) -- a homemade gender field!
All I did was add the information to my profile's Location field, which now contains:
| Quote: | | Indiana, USA Gender: Female |
The key is to make the actual location info just long enough to fill the first line, so that the rest of the field (in this case, "Gender: Female") wraps around to the second line, so that it looks like a separate field.
Added: Unfortunately, color codes do NOT seem to work within the Location field. I tried making mine pink (or actually violet, which is the closest available), but all it did was display the BBCode along with my info!
Note that the Location field is much longer than it looks. If your actual location info is longer than one line, you could probably get a third line's worth in there for your gender.
And note that you have to enter your password in ALL THREE places in order to change your profile.

| Nice investigative work Carol! Now people that want the choice can display gender.

This topic isn’t exactly on point for my post, but I’ll use it anyway. It can be a risky proposition to talk about gender or race, but I’m planting one boot into the gender pond.
For many discussions about MPI, I’m sure that gender does not make any difference. However, for some things, men and women have a different perspective, so I think it’s good that there are several female members.
As a new member, I have been pleasantly surprised to see that this is not a "males-only" forum.

As we say in St. Louie, opinions are like belly buttons, bub, everyone's got one...
I don't see why or how it matters what gender we are. Just enjoy...
