MEN had and will always have a keen interest in women problems and 
issues.
Therefore it is only natural to find so many male contributors to
net.women.( the  subnet net.women.only is not immune of male
contributors either).
Besides, net.women is meant to discuss women issues only. It is
not set up for women contributors only.
As for setting up a net.men to discuss specifically male problems
and issues , I think that's pretty neat idea. But if
you mean to reserve it to male contributors only, forget it!
Females and So's will invade it to find out , if nothing else ,
what's bothering their male brethern and what they are up to.
