Frankly, there've been a few evenings when it seemed it WAS a men-only Hearme, but certainly not by design. Actually, it seems to me the original post didn't exclude men from attending - just from performing. Jon suggested a different room and I think following that suggestion might help to allay any possible criticism of exclusivity. One further suggestion I'd make is that, rather than notifying potential participants by email or PM, that a thread be created with the link to Hearme, the name of the room to enter and groundrules for the event. I would hope that men would be allowed to participate in the text chat portion of the session however.
