But there's nothing you can do.
[QUOTE=JayceDragon;3872637]I actually lean towards the side of the site just being for guys. Because if the women had their own network you can bet your ass they wouldn't have guys in there.

Which means the providers can obviously read it. Once they know about Any forum that catches some steam, of course they're going to Look at the site. Just as there's far more men just looking at the site than having user accounts here.
So yes, the providers can and do see the site. Cat's out of the bag. The "damage" is done, if you could call it that, and nothing you can do about it.
The only thing one could do is to Not make a provider account, but of course they're going to make a new user account and retort back to bad reviews. Whether posing as another guy arguing about it, or saying they're them. I don't see how this would solve anything, besides maybe a little bit less provider posts overall, out of the very few already. But since they Do see the site like anyone in the general public can, you mine as well have them make a specific user account to communicate back.
Women DO have their own network

I am sure it's full of intrigue and that it is not an even benefit to all the women providing but it exists nonetheless. Market forces and perceptions still carry sway and GPS tends to fail over time.
Over the years, I've been in some of the private spaces on the old sites. It turns out men can be every bit as catty as women and more so where they believe the women aren't watching. Say something about someone's favorite provider and the fun begins. I never found those spaces to be a lot more useful than the more public ones myself. Add to that the fact that there are always a few men who leak the private discussions and it turns out that there were never really any men's only spaces that lived as such for very long.
So, bring on the women. It doesn't matter much if they are here or not. Assume they talk amongst themselves and assume that they read the worst possible meaning to any comment here or anywhere else. Try and be fair and honest while also as polite as one can be under the circumstances and things should work out about as well as they can.
