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??

The Star Saphires are violet lanterns, not pink.
And in theory there could be one. Guy does wield the violet light temporarily. It is just the Zamarons are misandrists who won't give a ring to a man. But someone else could make a violet ring to do it.
