Ruth, I'm not sure how it could be achieved, but I would sure like to see a place on the net where feminism could be discussed without hearing about circumcision or about how "rape isn't so bad". If you think net.feminism is the way, then let's hear from some other people. We want to get a lot of votes before we form another newsgroup. Maybe in exchange we could nuke net.women.only, which doesn't seem to be working out. Besides, I'd like to participate and I can't do that in net.women.only. Let's not forget that even a subject like vegetarianism was first met with articles like "the morality of vegetarianism?" in which someone tried to plea for the lives of innocent, possibly feeling plants. Really! So don't expect it to be everything you want at first, but perhaps like net.motss the hecklers will quickly get bored and leave. -- Phil Ngai (408) 988-7777 {ucbvax,decwrl,ihnp4,allegra,intelca}!amd70!phil
