Regarding net.women, net.women.only, and net.feminists:

There have been several statements that one use for restricted 
newsgroups would be that it would no longer be necessary to defend
even the topics being discussed.  There is no need to defend them
anyway... if you post an article you think is appropriate, and
someone lambastes you, ignore them.  And then continue your
discussion with the people interested in carrying on a reasonable
and thought-provoking discussion.

Note that I am not arguing against net.women.only; I think that
there are valid reasons for having it.  On the other hand, as a
feminist myself, I like to keep abreast of many of the topics I
expect would be on net.women.only.
