My take on this women vs. men idea is pretty simple - the two sexes approach communication differently, for the most part. Even though both might excel in playing, some women aproach music differently also. I don't feel that a woman would want to (generally) participate in this type of forum. If there were a similar forum populated by a majority of women I'm sure you would find the topics, comments and replies much different than the men's. Sit down and listen to a group of women have a gabfest, then move over to a men's group and hear the difference. Topics, approach, style are vastly different. JMHO.
