    I don't feel as comfortable posting here as I would if it was a mostly female, or all female forum.
    I have thought refrained from posting basic things in the health topics, because of the male audience.

    I think this forum should stay as is, but that there should be a female only subsection. An inner sanctum that every female user on boards has automatic access too.
    With maybe a minimal post count requirement, to deter the utterly pathetic loser lurkers types who might set up alt accounts.

    Ask them when they register.

    Seriously? How could you possibly get a female only section on Boards, there's no way to confirm what sex you are on the site.

    I know i'd be rightly pissed off it the lads were looking for a men only one!

    The Internet where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.

    I wouldn't feel threatened by male presence in any forum.

    Why would we feel threatened? They're just usernames and text, tbh men on the internet are no different to women- again just text and usernames.

    Obviously there is an element of trusting peoples intentions.

    markopantelic perhaps the question should have been " should markopantelic be allowed to post on this forum?" The answer? Not for a week.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
