If there are women (I'm curious it'd be the women making the request?!) that are not comfortable with men on the same board for whatever reason,

I'll act as the spokesperson!
The reason is that the women folk have noticed that men come to the board and don't stick around. We were wondering if it was because of the large amount of women here. It might scare them off. Men also seem to approach the WOL a bit differently and they lose weight differently.
Our common ground is low carbing and I completely agree with you:

Personally I really like having a diversity of gender, age, and personality on a message board. In fact, I've run or managed message boards myself since the early 90's (when they were BBS's) and in my experience, those that are healthiest (in every way) are those with real diversity among the members.

We just don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable because they can't find others in the same situation - or gender! - to relate to.
