but most of them are in the women's section, or addressed to women. How should one go about it, if they'd like to participate?

Tell them you're "really sorry for having a penis, ladies, but I believe I may have some useful input for you"

It is possible to be a man an think like a woman I am proof of this. Also most of the girls do not mind men starting topics or threads in the women section on WP.

That might cause confusion around my use of the word 'input' :P

I don't think there's anything wrong with giving your perspective but just remember that they are probably in the womens' section for a reason. Sometimes specific things we deal with are not always relatable from the other sex or genders point of view. As long as you are keeping that in mind and being civil, respectful and not too pushy I don't think they will mind.

As it is, sometimes guys answer posts in the womens section or start a topic themselves there so you wouldn't be the first.

Clarification, since I just realised one is needed: I don't want to talk about myself/ things to do with how I see women, I want to talk about other men. And the questions about taste in men are addressed to women.

Just post.

If they are uncomfortable with it, I'm sure they will let you know.

As for the official position, it is here in Spongy's post: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt181819.html
