I've never taken a women's only class but I think I would like it as long as the other ladies in the class weren't crying or being girly.

Most women are motivated differently than men. I remember one class where I was having a really bad night. The instructor came by and said: "With all your training I'd think you would do better than that". That might motivate a guy. I already knew I was having a bad night so I didn't need him to rub my nose in it. I heard him making similar remarks to the guys in the class. Fortunately the assistant instructor watched me and then had me change one small thing and it made a huge difference.

I think for the first one or two classes most women might feel more comfortable and less stressed to be in a women's class.
