I hope you don't mind me creating this thread, however I consider it to be a forum management issue and not a discussion about sexuality.

I have been discussing with males the issue about this being a womens only forum, including some complaints about their posts being deleted.
i have also discussed with admin the idea of making this a forum that women only post in (like only being able to post when you reach a certain post count level) and the feeling about this is that it would be Discrimination.

that leaves of the issue about men posting in here and also I would add that putting ones sex on ones profile is optional.

So I am suggesting that the people that post in here and feel they are members of the lesbian community, consider the posts they see on its merits, if you feel that a post is unsuitable let one of the moderators in the lesbain community know and we'll check it out.

we are asking that this be a place for 'females only' and we will leave it down to the other members of the hip forums to diecide if they fit into this critia.

I am going to be as strict on flamers, spammers and abusive posters as ever, but I can't keep following people around and checking on their sex when they post here!

so you diecide when you read the posts and let me know if you have any concerns and i'll take a look

I think it's ridiculous to segregate the forums on the basis of gender. If homosexual males or straight males have something to say that pertains to the topic, then why shouldn't it be said? This is a free speach forum, right?

Besides, the gay forum isn't men only.

I got the feeling from some women that posted in here that the gay forums seem dominated by men and that sometimes they feel left out, well actually I got more than a feeling that was a statement.
so I think its good to have a protected space for women to post in, I have also had to delete the usual response from some males that think that lesbains are here just to titilate them, so if this is women only it shows men like that, that being a lesbain is a serious sexuality, a serious attraction between women and not just created for fodder for men- at least it helps anyway
