    From what I've seen of net.women.only -- mostly comments on stockings
    and make-up -- I'd say it's part of some male chauvinist conspiracy
    to keep women on the covers of fashion magazines and out of the
    math/engineering/business curricula where they're likely to cause the
    most change.
    
    BTW, has the percentage of women in technical and other *hard*,
    traditionally masculine curricula improved since I was in school
    10 years ago ? Back then women were so wimpy the math classes were
    were less than 10% women.
    
    I wonder what percentage of women who study english with the pretext
    of becoming a writer or professor end up scrubbing floors for some
    engineering grad? And who's fault is it? 
    
    If only I could meet a women who made enough money to support a
    family on alternate years...
