I think that net.women.only was created at least in part, for the very reason you state, women get tired of constantly defending the most basic feminist positions. I don't think that net.women.only was the answer, I too would like to see some groundrules, however, don't want to see net.women strangled. Something as basic as respect for the experiences of others would be a start, although I don't want to give the impression that I feel most people who post to the group don't have that respect. I also like your idea of a bibliography, and although I don't know how that would be effectively implemented, would like to suggest the book "Women's Reality" however, I don't know the author. If anyone knows please follow-up, and if anyone knows where I can get a copy for myself, please let me know. Thanks, Sherry Mann ihu1g!smann AT&T Bell Laboratories, Naperville
