Should this room be private

TheCatWoman

The name of this room is Women and girls, so why are men able to see it and post in it? I know nothing on the internet is really private and that anybody can create a profile, but can't we have at least an illusion of privacy? I'm surprised that NAS has a room called Women and girls which is public, why bother with it at all?

Personally I would like a female only space, men could have a men only space too. I've just known to many men who get their jollies reading about things like periods.

  • I understood the ‘Women and girls’  section to be for the benefit of those who are searching for posts about things peculiar to women and girls, eg, pregnancy, periods, menopause, clothes. A woman might want to post about themselves or a daughter under 18 years old and the space might attract those who are interested in women’s issues.

    I don’t want an illusion of privacy. I want to know the actuality of the forum in which I participate. 

    Why would it be a good idea for the forum to be designed to deceive the user? Transparency is essential.
