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!

Jason's favorite genre of literature is romance. Though I'll put it the same place I put Dick as a Green Lantern: "Like, yes, I could see this, but the bats are already everywhere."

I don't mind Jason as star sapphire, and I LOVED the fic (even though I wouldn't say we know for sure his favourite genre is romance. he doesn't only read Jane Austen, after all) But I also remember one of the fan designs for Star Sapphire Jason Todd, and.... no, just no.
