I have a naive question that needs answering.

Is there a difference between a community for Women vs a community for anybody who wants a civil community?

From the discussion, I gather that women like 'women only' communities primarily because there are no "ill behaved", threatening men that turn away women.

Is there a place for a community for civilized human beings where everyone is included regardless of their gender identity?

I think gender specific communities creates a mono culture and punishes men who are civilized and know how to behave around other gender(s).

The real issue to address is to keep out the unruly crowd - regardless of gender.
