That said, I think that the men deserve a Men Only area to discuss "our" sensitive issues
Because sometimes men have something useful to add to the discussion.
Or have questions that women might be able to answer.
For example, I moved peterock's question about how to get his girlfriend more comfortable with firearms to this forum because it seemed pertinent to women's issues... IE, how to get a woman who is new to and/or against firearms able to at least accept that firearms are in the house, or in an ideal world, get her as excited about firearms as he is.

We don't want to push men out; we just want to recognize that sometimes the shooting world is different for women than it is for men. This thread for example... for men, protecting the house is a practical/logical response. "There is a threat. It must be stopped. End of discussion." For women, it's an emotional response. "There is a threat. What are the consequences?"

Ladies feel free to disagree and correct me.
