If Women Specific threads were tagged as women_specific, a term already widely used in the cycle industry, there wouldn't really be a need for a sub-forum for the purpose of providing easy access to all the women specific threads. A sticky thread in General called "Women Specific" containing links to other relevant threads would make life easy for noobs not yet familiar with the various search options.
I think the dangers of a ghetto are well known, not to mention that other groups might start wanting their own ghetto if women get one, but it's for them to make that mistake on their own, since the matter is otherwise trivial.
