No - now you are just messing with me. Swear on everything I own that I've already read this [near-]exact quote 2-3 years ago in this very same discussion.

( yes. I'm looking back on the entire thread to try and find the most similar: I was banking on Cynthetiq, The_Jazz, MSD or B_G stating it so succinctly, back in 2008 or so I'm half-remembering it.)

I used to wish the Ladies lounge had some highlight to it or perhaps a secret handshake for entry. I've wandered in there more then once by accident and posted. I've learned, I hope. I still find myself reading a title of a new thread in there and think "that looks interesting" and end up in there, but lately I've caught myself and left.

Women are the minority gender on TFP. Some of the best, most wonderful people on TFP are women, but they are not in the majority. They need a room to talk in. They need a club. It's a matter of evening things out a bit. I say kudos to them, and I hope they all enjoy the lounge.
