The women should be in the regular SOC planet, and eventually all the
SOP/WSOPs should find their way onto the regular planet.

But for a while we also need a WSOP planet with just the women. This
creates a women-only community which is necessary in the short term so
that women can build a critical mass on their own terms, and to advertise
the presence of women to other women.
