And we know that all men are comfortable discussing things in mixed company? ..

A "Mens Lounge" is unnecessary due to the fact that if you look around the board, many male issues are openly discussed and most of the time, the male sex has no issue with shyness in an open forum.

And most of the time isn't ALL of the time, is it? Plus, the whole position smacks of "the poor women are the weaker sex" mentality.

This has been brought so many times it's crazy. So I say, enjoy the board for what it is, what it can be and let this subject die.

Hmmm, maybe the reason it is brought up so often is that the idea has merit. And just because someone thinks the board can be better doesn't mean they don't enjoy what it is. Otherwise, no one would ever make a suggestion on any change.
