I strongly disagree. I want everyone to feel welcome, whatever their gender
is. If you start creating little worlds without men, first you exclude
people and that's a negative message to give and then it's totally
artificial as our world is populated with both men and women. So if we feel
there is a problem with with women representation in our community, we need
to find a solution together. Men and women both have brain, so they can
both come with creative ideas.

Cheers,
