Summary: What is wrong with you people?

Why is it in any way controversial for there to be a women's BOF
(birds of a feather) gathering at Usenix?  What the hell is wrong
with you people?  Aren't you aware that any group of attendees that
wants to can have such a meeting?  Why do you find it so threatening?
If Liz and gang can figure out ways of increasing women's
participation in Usenix and Unix in general, I for one will be
delighted.  I'm ashamed to belong to the same gender as some of you
guys.
