     Being a male who is concerned about "women's isuues", both
political and social, I would have to vote against your suggestion
to form a net.women.only group. The formation of such a group
would merely add to the already large number of things in our
society which strengthen the gender gap. It would, in my
opinion, be sexist in the same fashion as the old all male clubs
were (are?).
    
     I'm not sure why you feel that there are things which should
only be discussed among women, and would find it very enlightening
to know which subjects you feel fit in this category. If you are
referring to "personal" topics, the net probably isn't the place
to discuss them anyway.

     This is not meant as a flame.

                                   From the other side of the fence,
