First, we have discussed that several of our hosts are vocal members of the community. A majority of those hosts are male. We have made a concerted effort going forward to ensure that public representation of our hosting body is seen more evenly along gender lines. We're having our female counterparts act as our public voice in issues more often, and asking that our frequently vocal hosts just let someone else have a shot at... locking threads, blocking posters, and otherwise releasing statements on behalf of the hosts or conversing with our members in an "official" capacity.
Second, we have been addressing the "gender issue" for the past few weeks, even before the problem arose that brought it into the light. TriMera and Obamanut have both been added as hosts and we are actively seeking Yardwork's return if she would deem it appropriate. All of these actions were done to diversify the hosting pool a little. We are continuing to look at that situation and will continue to alter the hosting pool in the near future. The problem is we need to discuss it first and we have had a very busy week! There is a lot of discussion going on behind the scenes on this, and it will be further addressed.
Also, we are looking to our members to post more (in particular) lesbian-related threads so as to attract a larger lesbian population to the group. This is more of a long-term strategy, but hopefully will help to balance out everyone's concerns.
If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to post them or else PM me if they are of a more sensitive nature. I will relay them, as I have this thread, word for word to the hosts and we will discuss them!
