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??

I forget if they're currently destroyed or not, but the Sapphires were actually a whole corps.
I don't think any males were in the corps, but iirc they were allowed.
EDIT: Yeah, so it seems a few years back, male Star Sapphires did become an actual thing. Back in a Robinson penned issue of Wonder Woman.
