My opinion is that women should be free to post in the open area, but I will vote against all women for the members-only area. This isn't as much a criticism of women as a recognition of the fact that people behave very differently in a mixed-sex conversation than in a same-sex conversation. In a mixed-sex conversation, it is natural for most men to pay more attention to the women than to other men. This can be seen on almost any forum where women inevitably get more responses to their posts than men do. So regardless of whether it is women's fault or men's fault, it is clear that women are disruptive to men's conversation and so I will always vote against their membership here.
