[net.women] Do we need net.women.only?

rs1@ihuxl.UUCP (08/24/83)

I'll probably be sorry I said this, but I see no reason that
any discussion that would be appropriate in a net.women.only
newsgroup couldn't go on in net.women.  I enjoy reading
the male point of view concerning women's issues and if
the problem is the need to defend a discussion then I
would suggest that maybe the contributor's are a bit too
defensive....   Why waste energy on arguing about
our right to discuss anything?  If the men want to criticize
let the BOY's criticize.

Perhaps the women should just go ahead and START discussing makeup,
cramps and whatever else they wish to. Nobody will complain, since
those are obviously legitimate topics for net.women. And if there
is enough traffic on those topics with enough contributions from women,
males who aren't interested will simply drop out.
