I believe that we'll need to create a Men's Only Forum now that we've got a Women's Only Forum. It's only fair, and besides, men have almost, if not -as- many issues that they'd rather not discuss in the presence of the opposite gender.
"Why do we need a men's only forum?" you ask. The answer is simple: to help men deal with their aforementioned issues in the company of others who must deal with the same issues and know what they're talking about, as well as to even the slate and keep things from degenerating into a flamewar of the sexes, as would likely happen if we kept the Women's Only Forum without also adding in a forum for men.

The funny thing is that I feel like my sex and gender don't match. On the outside I'm male, but on the inside, I feel more female. I understand women better than I understand men.

And in sex-specific forums, I can't fit in either: I'm male and am not allowed to post in the women's forum, and I'm not manly at all and wouldn't fit into a men's-only forum (my friends are almost entirely girls).

I'm the opposite way (physically female but identify with being male) and therefore don't 'fit' in either forum either. But there's a simple solution... just don't post in either area. Just like the teen, kid, or adult areas might not be relevant to various people, the gender-specific forums won't be relevant to everyone either.
