The natural inclination of this board is to include almost anything and everything and that's fine, but IMHO it kind of skews the poll. Just as you say a "no opinion" could reduce the "no" vote I wonder how many of our yes votes would actually use the feature other than as a one time novelty or simply not at all.

Had I included only "yes", "no" and "Don't care", I could have been accused of setting it up to favour the yes vote.
Well you can certainly set up your poll any way you like and I do think staying away from the "don't care" option was a good idea. I do hope though you can appreciate what I'm trying to say about the poll as it is set up.

With two yes options we would get a much clearer picture between those that would use a women's league and those that just think the ability should be there for those that may want it and yet not change the total number of yes votes.

Not saying you set the poll up to get a certain outcome. I would just find it very interesting to know how many of the "yes" votes would use the feature.
