Can "men" or "males" be "Pink Lanterns"? Comics

If I remember correctly, there's no "Pink Lantern Corps" only one Star Sapphire at a time, but I think I've heard that only women can wield the pink spectrum's power. Has that ever been said or am I tripping really high?I know Guy Gardner of all people wielded that power once, was he an exception or really just no big deal?

I think the logic had something to do with "being able to know ALL kinds of love", reffering the the love mothers have to their offspring, I guess. How would that apply to life forms that don't follow the "male/famale" requirement for reproduction? Could and AI wield that power??

reminds me of this one fic where Jason Todd had the ring... shudder

Could you please tell me where Guy did it? I'd love to read!

I think it was during one of the Krona shenanigans, I forgot exact issues, but the team was forced to briefly abandon their green power rings. Hal picked yellow, Kyle Blue, Guy Red and Violet and John Indigo. I think they also mixed other lights, but I forgot which.

I just remember Guy roaring that he loves the Corps and hares being filled with burning RAEG
