Women are certainly welcome. I personally don't feel any sense of Unidentified's feelings of exclusion. My thoughts are that if it helps, it helps. I expect it will help tremendously. Providing an emotionally safe and secure environment in which to learn, who can be against that? Bonding would be enhanced. Fun would be had. Strange to me that such a good hearted attempt to increase inclusion, and thus diversity, could be considered discriminatory. Hearing of this I feel heartened.
I can understand your concern. This is an issue I've heard discussed, and the concern is certainly relevant. I'm also glad that such a diverse group of women was attracted.
