Just curious as to why women have their own board to talk about gender-specific issues that they face but men are not afforded a board of the same kind. It's always struck me as a little odd.

From what I understand there was a mens section years back but is was so toxic that despite occasional calls to give it another try Alex does not want to get burned again.

For the millionth time, there is no men's discussion board because Alex, a man, doesn't want one.

Well for the first time, I don't venture onto this subforum much, so I have no way of having ascertained that information without scrolling through this sub forum looking for a thread pertaining to the question I wanted to ask, which seems like way more effort than just asking my question in the first place.

If it's such a commonly asked question, maybe you could pin a thread explaining what you just told me so people will only need come to this subforum to find that answer, and you won't get inundated with the same question repeatedly.

Because only a few mods actually know how to sticky things. I am not one of them.
