I prefer not to discuss the problem, but to work closely with those women who have trouble carrying and drawing because their waist is too small and their breasts are too big

.

Seriously, I don't think there needs to be a "special place" for the women. BUT, if it would encourage more women to come to TFL if there was a women's ONLY forum, well, then that would be neat. I think having a lady's forum that the men can participate in would serve little purpose except to possibly stir up sexist arguments. I have noticed that most "lady's forums" end up dominated by guys either looking for dates or trying to seem much more intelligent than they could ever get away with in the other forums.
(both types of guys invariably get shot down by the enlightened women)
