It says you can remain anonymous, so what's to stop men from joining? Is it moderated?... Just seems like a sexist forum...

Hi gitgud, you can choose to post your questions anonymously but you still have to sign up with a real and validated profile. We find that only 20% of posts are anonymous and the remainder women are posting openly as themselves. We only allow the person posting anonymously to stay anonymous in that conversation. But no-one is allowed to answer a post anonymously. We use real names and real photos too.
