Actually, the Ladies' Lounge was originally open to all. There were threads like the "TFP Jukebox" that ICPDude created where you could dedicate songs to people on the board there. It was locked down after a douchebag former member decided to turn it into his own personal exhibition stage and, if I remember correctly, a way to find women on the board to bother. The lock-down was to prevent that from happening again, but seeing as we have a pretty good base of female members who can and do post freely, I don't see much need for it anymore.
