TO ALL * NET.WOMEN * USERS Once,casually,I came across this net.women.Frankly,I'm not interested very greatly in it.But as I leafed through it,it seemed to me that an overwhelmingly large proportion of the contributers is MALE .In other words, it seems that far more MEN seem to be interested in it than women.In that case, guys,why don't you name it net.men ??????? Or,if you prefer, net.we-men ??????????? Also,how do you account for the seeming lack of any female responses ???? One thing.If you respond to this query,please don't clutter and confuse the question raised by introducing any variety of the M.C.P. or the LIB factor.

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. Chedley c/o ittvax!wxlvax!olsen

Now before anyone flames, think about what I just stated. I didn't say it was right, only that it was fact. *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

There are a lot of women out here in the computer field who have access to USENET and net.women who read articles and do not respond. This does not mean women aren't interested in the subject matter posted to the news group. I am sure men however have a lot more questions about women then do women have about themselves. I am not saying women don't have questions about themselves either. But one has a tendency to know more about the sex one is a member of. sincerely, Suzanne
