[net.women] Jym Dyer's response to the Mensa/Playboy remarks

lmf@drutx.UUCP (FullerL) (10/23/85)

I think Jym's point (which follows) is very well presented and I agree.
I also agree with Heather's response on the subject. These kind of 
remarks do not belong in net.women. (Feels like a mild form of sexual
harassment to me).
