But... why is it a great idea, exactly?
Maybe because these players, that are clearly a minority in EVE, feel a desire to communicate with others like them, without having to deal with comments like the one above? Or endless discussions about fittings and battle tactics, for that matter... ;)
I say it's the same reason they only go to the bathroom in groups.
Great channel tho, props to Zajo and Malindah! Join!

Equality does not mean not recognizing that there are differences between males and females, of course they can create a females only channel. And of course, males are equally free to create a males only channel.

Hehe, judging the blatantly sexist stuff getting regularly thrown around on corp ventrilo I can see why WGOE exists.
It's not that EVE players are womanizers or anything, it's just that in a 95% male environment people act rather different than they do normally.

Late in 2003, a girl named Aminida got a superb idea and started an in-game channel for females only. A channel where girls alike could hang out and talk about what ever they wanted. Since then, the channel has gone through several changes and improvements. For the last couple of months WGoE has been taking a break from interviews and recruits. Now we have finally gotten our stuff back together and eagerly await new additions to our lovely channel.
If you are a female playing EVE and want to join our channel all you need to do is contact one of our moderators:

We will then set-up a day for your interview. The interview is needed to make sure you truely are female
So what do you do if you're Deaf or hard of hearing?

Valid question Raguel.
If there is a will there is also a way. If this would happen I am sure we would figure something out.

Its actually sexism, and no different than racism as far as I'm concerned. Everyone is equal, however, segregation implies that one is better than another. Be it treating a female player "special" because she is female, or excluding a male player because he's male.
Next is an "White-only channel" because you don't like filtering through all the chinese characters from Chinese players. Its nonsensical.

Internet doods are creepy. I have a strict no sexual innuendo policy (due to the fact that internet girls if there are such a thing (a myth in my opinion) are also creepy )

You girls should be nicer to each other. That Feline girl on your forums is crying her eyes out coz you're not her friends anymore (whining on the forums with her alt, Pookie).

Thankfully the great ladies I know that play this game prefer to not be known as 'girl-gamers', instead opting to be known as simply gamers.
I don't care what you are as long as you are respectful and fun to chat with. |

As my philosophy prof was handing calling names so he could hand back the papers we wrote some weeks ago, he begins to notice that ten out of the twelve people he called so far were not in class. At that point, he remarks
"Good that we're not learning anything important today... feminism."
His words, not mine!

WEll lets not take it too far, yes it is sexist but it is not unfair yet because the womens group they are creating is not asking for special favors that we know of. People are naturally sexist, racist, or just biased toward their own identity. But to what degree they take it to is what counts.
I suppose if there was a game with 90% female 10% male some men would want to form a male only club. I guarantee many of the females would be alarmed if men formed their own group. Its human to wonder why.. just why? But its also human to just want your own groupie.
I'm sure most of these girls are just wanting to socialize in a private setting in the game. Not all women are anti-male 
However.. if they are Amarr players..... I would say watch out Minmatar men

While this line of reasoning has some merit on one level, it's also very very wrong on so many others.
You are comparing WGOE to white-only clubs, while it would probably be more appropriate to compare them to the national clubs (for instance, there is Somalian, Turkish, Iranian and Finish clubs, and many more) that exist in many places here in Sweden. While you could possibly argue that these clubs are racist, it's probably more valid to see them as clubs for people with a common background and a common interest. If you don't share their nationality, you probably wouldn't find yourself enjoying your time there. But more importantly, those clubs are like a sanctuary in a foreign country, and THEY would probably feel held back if they had you there with them.
WGOE is pretty much the same. It's a minority's (women) sanctuary in a large society (EVE) mainly occupied by men. If they want ONE place where they can communicate with each other without a man hearing it, what's wrong with that?
It's comments like yours that make me even more sure that they need it.
