I think it would be as useful for men to have their own newsgroup as it would be
for women. I don't understand the use for any of them, since I believe the LEGO
experience is not influenced by sexual identity, but hey, if we're gonna have
them, might as well use them!

Not my wife. She sometimes helps me with my projects or sorting parts, but
that's as far as her interest for my hobby goes. She doesn't visit Lugnet, she
wouldn't visit Lugnet if such a newsgroup was created. I can't speak for others
however, but you asked, so I answered.
