is it possible to intregrate group policies into the forum?
Romance \Relationships are sensitive topics when people come from an array of backgrounds alone but more importantly when one gender impacts a bigger voice in a forum.
My suggestion would be to regulate the ratio of responders to each thread. 50% men 50% women.
furthermore, responds to threads are often excalated beyond responding to the op. the purpose of the thread should be within the scope of answering a question rather then voice opinion on someone elses resonse.
hope you take this into consideration

If you want to limit the responses you could preface your OP with "Ladies only: do you...?" or some such terminology.

So who is going to choose the 50% and how are you going to base that choice not knowing how many people are going to respond to that particular thread? Are the moderators supposed to sit and read every response and then remove every one that does fall into your guidelines? I don't see that as being a logical or practical use of a Moderator's time and effort.

It's a forum, anyone should be able to ask and respond regardless of gender.

Women serve no purpose on the forums or women serve no purpose in general or their opinions just serve no purpose at all no matter what genre they are presented in?

no. Hence the term group policy was used. The system would automatically freeze responses from a given gender depending what it need to balance the forum. Once the other gender caught up it would allow the blocked gender to resume

Okay, I'm done here, time to make fresh popcorn and grab a couple extra bowls and chairs and just start reading. This is bound to get interesting, even including women and their opinions.

How about having an "Ask a male" and "Ask a female" section? (where the opposite gender is barred from answering)

I've seen this on other forums.
