It's to encourage girls to join and be active here.

I don't see a problem with it? It sends a message that SF is a place of equality, which is what we want is it now?

Why should girls be encouraged more than boys? Isn't it a little unfair that because you're a girl, you automatically get an award? Besides, there's no proof that she is female as of yet.
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

Pfft, it's really not that big of a deal is it? She was given a flower under her name do you want one? Is it that important? We're here to help each other out not fuss over awards.

I don't understand why the mere acknowledgment of a female here has stirred up so much disbelief and strong feelings.

Gender should never have come into it.
Unfortunately it has. (Prob through a fake trying to play as such)
Move on i say.
Yea award is perhaps a bit weird. But it has merit. Tell me i am alone in the final judgement based on Omnis thoughts?
Either way. Were all here ultimately for one goal. To support.
And although recent activity has been amusing i assume the females amongst us will or will not show there true identity.
However its a weird thing to do sure. Particularly given todays predators.
But again its support and as a community i know this recent experience will only make SF grow.
IMHO anyway.
