I know you won't like what I'm going to say but you asked so here you go. It's been already said anyway.

I voted no. I agree it wouldn't be fair to discriminate someone because of their gender or anything else for that matter. It would be like people who don't cut can't go to the Self Injury forum and read/post there. You can put 'males only' into the topic of the thread like Candybear suggested. Women here do just that and nobody sees the problem with it. Yes, men are outnumbered here but no one stops them from signing up and posting, it's their own choice.

How about a female only forum to balance it?

this site is predomanantly female with a approximate ratio of only 1 in 10 being a male, every month there are on average 40 new male members join and of them 2/3 rds leave without posting, as opposed to 200+ females joining the site per month so you could say you already have your female only forums

No, we can't say such thing because if we had our 'female only' forums you wouldn't be allowed to post here. I agree that PC is predominantly female but it is not exclusively female. You want a male only forum but you don't like the idea about a female equivalent.

The only fair thing would be to create both 'male only' and 'female only' forum but personally I don't see the point in either. If they both are created that's fine with me but unnecessary nonetheless.
