Sur ces 462 membres, il n'y avait que cinq hommes parce que les agents de sexe masculin avaient été exclus pour permettre aux femmes de parler plus librement du harcèlement sexuel, sujet particulièrement intime et personnel. Simmie Smith a jugé que la présence d'hommes empêcherait les femmes de s'exprimer ouvertement et de parler avec franchise de leurs préoccupations.
Of those 462 members, only five were men since they excluded the men because the women were very restricted and concerned about speaking of this sexual harassment, which is so intimate and so personal that it was felt by Simmie Smith that this would impede the women's ability to be open and to express their concerns adequately in a way that fulfilled their need to express those concerns.
