I said it exactly for that reason - because it was turning into a free-for-all, and I felt the men needed a quick reminder to check their privilege. Male voices get to dominate most - if not all - of the conversations here, and that's fine, but in this specific instance, Starlet requested that women step forward and make their presence known. I felt that the women's voices were getting drowned out by the myriad of men stepping forward to state the obvious fact that they were male. (Trust me, we know.) As a woman gamer who was also looking through this thread to meet other women, it would have been nice to not have to sift through 16 pages to find those few female voices.
Sometimes, you need to know when to step back and not comment if it's not your place, and this is a thread where women's voices need to be the primary one. PSO-W has been an awfully vile place lately, and that doesn't mean it has to stay that way. I know she can hold her own, but this is my particular opinion, and I am adding my own two cents based on my frustrations going through this thread.

Yeah, what Sidney said is true... I'm lucky I kept following this topic from maintenance, and that some girls were proactive to send me friend requests and message (which is great <3) so that I could make some contacts. People talking about random things for a few pages? Really?
If I make a thread asking to meet anyone of any type, it will either get ignored or pulled as much off-track as this thread. I understand your desire not to have to sift through a bunch of replies to find the responses you're interested in, but that's the nature of a forum. I respect your opinion, but it seems a bit unrealistic to me. I have as much a right to enter that opinion into record here as you do. There is no disrespect intended, nor do I see how any could be inferred.
That said, the last ... well, 8 pages for me, haven't seemed all that bad. At least now there is a thread for you to find the people you wanted to connect with, even if there is some sifting required.

SERVERS DIE WHEN THEY ARE KILLED.
I know a girl that plays PSO2... but seriously, just assume everyone is a guy. If you somehow find out that the other player is a girl, then that's a bonus, I guess? I'd just continue playing like normal though.
