Asking "is there an HN for women" is like asking "is there a Github for lesbians". It's implying women aren't welcome. On a website where if you don't explicitly say it yourself, nobody will ever know if you're a man or a woman.
I am seriously confused. Whats wrong with asking if there is a lesbian github? Also I doubt asking wether there’s a HN for males with bbq bellies who want to talk space travel would get flagged as fast as this post. But i am sure the question you fantasised will.

Being welcome, doesn't automatically make something a good place.
People have different requirements, and this person seems to not find their requirements fulfilled here. No need to take this personal.
