what's your prob with that? Why would you even bother - unless your a woman, are you? Why don't you ask the women here what they think, seeing it's a women's site? What if a woman here started posting links to every single "man's" site - i.e porn/cars/army/snuff/pedophiles/buy-a-bride/rent-a-whore/etcetcetc website???what then? Why don't you now give us an idea as to why you think you don't have to explain what your motive for posting that link really is??? Like, how about now... So, are you a girl/woman? If not, again, explain, or maybe post a link to one of the millions of pages by men for men that are pure evil/nonsense/boring/w*nk... How about that, "guy"??? Well, I "just" wondering
not really though...

"Sixteen2Sixty.com is a women’s classifieds website across various cities of the country. The idea is to provide a platform for a woman to connect with other women in her area and city to buy, sell or barter absolutely anything. Women can sell their cell phones or advertise their business, find a job or a PG accommodation. All this and much more for free without the use of any credit cards."
Is this your own website we're looking at? I'm not a woman but I love the design and the whole idea/aim of the website, looks great!

xugaa, you're right - however, maggflodd's question is valid, and calls for a reply! there is reason to suspect, the post is by a man getting a strange "load of laughs" out of the very concept that women should have such a site - that'd mean it's a sexist post/thread. Now, esato rightly doesn't allow racist or homophobic posts... so what IF I started a "funny" thread linking to an african-american or muslim-webcommunity, saying, 'look, now those "t#welh#ads/ni**ers have websites"... see, I'd rightly be punished for racism! therefor, if the post is by a woman linking to that nice and useful site - that's brilliant... but I share the sneaking suspicion it could've been meant as a "joke" at the women's cost.
I'd really just like to know because the original post is (maybe innocently so...) slightly ambiguous...
but I may well be overreacting...a simple reply by the original poster will clear this one !!!
have a nice weekend

@mustu...
Sorry, "oneofthose" explained quite well what I was on about...if you're a man the "lol" in the topic header etc seem slightly "nasty-ish".If you think I'm overreacting, I state for the record: there are quite a few posts on this forum that are sexist to a degree and in a sneaky way THAT were they "racist" in the same way, the posters would be rightly barred ... In short: I'm just not willing to accept any degree of sexism/racism/stupidism...
But back to your post: it looks like a great site...very well done!!!

Don't want to get involved with the above, but some of the postings on that site are friggin surreal!!! One ad, for a flat to let, states: No vegetarians, Ironing not allowed, and no Muslims. Guess they don't have the same anti-discriminatory laws that we have. I know religion etc are always covered, but never thought one could be discriminated against for ironing!!!

Interesting point, london-uk... But an ad placed on that site, does not totally discredit the site, does it - if someone were to make a totally racist remark on this site, it might take a mod occasionally an hour or more to remove that thread...is "esato" for that period of time a bad, racist forum??? hardly so - it's one idiot who ab-uses esato... Is your daily paper a porn mag because there are sex-ads in the classifieds? "maybe", I could actually argue, but it's not generally seen that way, is it... So, the ad you mention is a "curiosity" in itself but to judge the site, you'd want a bit more evidence - and, lastly, MUSTU's still awfully quiet!!! I thought s/he (?) wanted feedback from us "guys"!?

@ oneofthose
I wasn't trying to discredit the site, I was merely pointing out what I thought was an amusing/strange ad.

Don't think that is what s/he, that is oneofthose, implied - maybe, but it's clearly more aimed at mustu WHO started this and is now very "quiet"???
I mean., really - there are stupid ads/posts/etc everywhere...hardly worth another thread! The only interesting aspect about the site still remains mustu's motive! Genuinely pointing us to a good site OR male chauvinist mockery??? My personal jury is still out...
