I remember reading somewhere in CCP's rules about the fact that discrimination is against the rules. Well, this is gender based discrimination.
Just a thought.

Well, apart from the obvious drooling and "WTB a girl who plays EVE" comments in this thread, I think an all-girls PVP corp would be awesome to see.
However, you would be griefed so much by nerds trying to impress you, you would probably have to go clandestine with it.
Unless you like that kind of desperate attention from nerds like us boys playing EVE

An all girl PvP corp?
That would be one nasty, scary corp ... for about 2 or 3 days out of each month.
I have a name suggestion... ESTROGEN BRIGADE [B1 TCH] sorry for the extra space, cant get the impact of the humor without the corp ticker. No space in there is needed...
Actually, I make this comment purely in jest. Just trying to get a laugh. Don't ban me.

Not trolling or anything, but where is this happening? o.O I've checked the thread a few times over, or were you just putting that out there for people to know or something?
As for females playing EVE, or games in general.
Dunno - it's no way at all true to say women do not play video games - but it's true to say that men attract to games a LOT more then women do - that's for sure. It tends to be there is 3-5 times more guys playing video games, online games, then there are women - that says it all.
As to convincing Gf's to play a game, hmm - those who are successful, it's probably because you were just lucky I hate to say. Most women try EVE and don't like it because, they just don't. It's not always how you present it to them; in fact it usually isn't.
It's really no different then a guy - if you present EVE to a frat boy who only plays sports, and barely plays video games (and the ones he does play is sports/racing only) - then you will have the same results as you would from most women.
I can say this though - I BET that most women that do play EVE have played video games before in the past. The ones who don't get into it, I bet they never really played video games at all.
As to why current EVE chicks have played games in the past - dunno, feel free to enlighten us - tell us about your gaming orgins  My best theoriy is that you gals are pretty casual and open-minded and at one point or another, your first game ever was something that clicked for you and seemed tolerate, then you were willing to try new games.
A fine example of click-games for chicks would be, though I hate to say it, Halo, or World of Warcraft; because they are fads I hate to say it. The reason why these games click I think is because of teen popularity, a lot of women love to socialize - teenagers in particular. Eventually, in order to spend time with friends, they play these games with them. This happens because it's just a activity among friends, and a social network - a video game myspace *quivers*. Wither we know it or not, they are bandwagon fads. 
Not trying to make generalizations at all - but this is the trend I have noticed; and maybe it would help us dumb guys understand it more 
If you gals have a formula on how you guys chose to play video games, and why most other women don't get into video games - feel free to indulge us

there were all girl corps in the past, short-lived too...
nowadays, there's plenty of corps with one or two females in them.
doubt you'll find an all-estrogen one though

Ugh, Estrogen Empire you say? There goes the galaxy :-/ If anyone is going to defeat Band of Brothers, it would be this.
A few years later there would be breaking news from scope saying Band of Brothers has collapsed, just prior to finding all of the leaders found in some warehouse face down in a pool of their own blood. Cause of death apparently nagged-induced suicide.
It is believed that Estrogen Empire was behind these assassination's.

I whole heartedly agree! Which is why I wanna ask: why are you looking for an all-female corp? The few I've met in EVE would make Womens Activists groups proud. Just join a regular corporation suited to how you want to play, you will have much more luck (and fun).

Why would it be awesome? Drawing a distinction between the sexes (i.e. discrimination) works both ways, why is it necessary to be a member of an all-girl corp? Such a suggestion implies that there is a problem CCP needs to address or deal with.
Incidentally I doubt very much an openly "all girl" corp would get griefed, if anything I imagine the reverse would be true (a female avatar I had in SWG got free gifts unsolicited all the time).

Fellas fellas fellas. And by fellas I mean all of you. Clearly you have not been paying attention to Rule #15 of the Internet:
THERE ARE NO WOMEN ON THE INTERNET. Just guys, man-loving guys, and FBI agents. Not that there's anything wrong with any of the three, I myself am a man-loving FBI agent.

That would be one nasty, scary corp ... for about 2 or 3 days out of each month.
If we do a real life comparison: Female terrorists/militants work 10 times harder to get where they are within their organisations, and as a result they are 10 times more dangerous. Therefore, any counter-terrorist unit is taught that when attacking terrorists/militants, they are to kill the women first.
In EvE, this would mean that a publicly known all-girl PvP group would be outright lethal (any time of the month) and would be primaried really quick. So for that sole reason, the last thing an all-girl corp should do is advertise themselves are being all-girl. |

Is that true?
Pretty cool
IŠd just join any fun and active PvP corporation. Look for one that is mostly active during the times you play and ask the CEO if the corp is somewhat mature and fun. Then join them.
If they give you trouble turn on them in the midst of battle and quit to find another corporation.

Of course women play EVE, it's been published by CCP several times that 5% of the playerbase is female. That's 12,000 women who play.
Other than the interest in this statistic, though, nobody cares; you'll be subjected to some puerile smack talk like here and otherwise will be shot at just like everyone else. If you're looking for an all-female corp. in order to find mature or "quality" players, I got some news for you there, females can be as immature as males, and you only see males being immature because of the M:F ratio in the game.
Me, I'd be looking for a mature respectful corp that has both males and females, and go from there.
