I find it quite interesting that you, of all people, would be
so openly hypocritical!  You are trying to force your ideas on all women!
What gives you the right to imply that only feminists are right?
You go as far as to imply (I think) that only a feminist female can
determine postings that are 'not of concern to women'!
Do you mean that soc.women should be changed so soc.feminist?

If your only motive for wishing that .women become moderated is to stop
ad hominem attacks, then why must the moderator be a feminist female?
I think any person would be just as capable of screening out personal attacks as
anyone else, so why a feminist?.

You obviously want to do just what you claim certain people on (in?)
the WELL were doing: censoring!

Just rember that not everyone agress with you, nor should everyone agree, 
but everyone should be able to speak!

I do agree that the personal attacks gotta go (on BOTH sides!),
but I do not see moderation (as in moderated group) as the solution.

As another footnote, why moderate the group, for the moderation system
does not work.  Name the group, and if my site has it active, I can
post to it.
