since women ventured into the men only thread, it has opened the door for men to enter the women only thread [ha, ha]
One thing women have kept for themselves is the matter of belly dancing with many believing it is exclusively for their entertainment and not for men. Many pagan or Muslim tribes believe this is so and they purposefully exclude men from these performances. Shame, shame on them. For if they only read the Bible they would know Miriam was a belly dancer who performed joined with other women to praise God while entertaining and revitalizing war weary men:

See Exodus 15:20; I Samuel 18:6; Jeremiah 31
Interestingly, in modern portrayals Miriam was portrayed as fully clothed except for bare legs and feet. In past eras she was portrayed as wearing more revealing costumes. Belly dancing is in the Bible and it is for all. Anyone who attempts to exclude men is practicing a form of discrimination that is not biblically permissible. [ha ha]
