Well, net.women.only is gone, so I heard.  So much for that.  And part of the
idea of a women's newsgroup/forum is that it *not* be moderated.

>I think Lori & Karla's  remarks smack of sexism & seperatism.

Separatism is a perfectly valid philosophy.  I don't happen to agree with it,
but my objections are based solely on *personal* reasons.  The more time
goes on, the more I agree with the separatist ethos (objectively speaking).

But I don't think Lori and Karla espouse this philosophy.  And the
implications of the quoted posting are not kind.

[This posting is an attempt to dominate the net, but at least I'm honest
about it. :-) ]
