Abstract: sexuality of mailing lists.

As far as I know, mailing lists have no sex and no sexual behavior--they are
propagated by fission, or by spontaneous generation, or by cuttings.  So,
asking to be put on a "female mailing list" will probably do you no good--there
are no mailing lists which are female or male.  I, however, get the giggles
whenever I see this, so by all means, keep posting things with this title.

However, there does exist a mailing list about feminist issues.  All sexes
of people allowed (I don't moderate it).  Maybe this is what people are
seeking?
