What are you talking about, Howlin? Many of my favorite FReepers are all women:
Mercuria
incindiary
AnnaZ
diotima
Aviator
donna
Torie?
That Poppin's Woman
MissAmericanPie
Miss Antiwar
...and the list goes on and on.
Now, if you really want to know where my antipathy with "the Guild" began, it all goes back to Miss Marple. She made our political disagreements personal, sought, and got my first permanent banishment last year. I can't tell you how frustrating it was for me to be on a thread with her enjoying a vigorous debate when, just after posting a brilliant reply, the thread goes dark before she can even read it. That was her style. She never really wanted to debate, only to suppress.
I really dislike folks who seek to bind and gag their political opponents rather than defeat them with good argument. And that's why I dislike many of the ladies of the Guild. Their first impulse is to suppress dissenting views and, as such, I think they have been a destructive force on this forum.
