About the mailing list:
Why should this being restricted to feminists? Don't you think the
ignorant could benefit from this environment?
Are there worries about women-who-hate-men participating? Why? Are we
afraid that we'll all be labelled women-who-hate-men?
(I don't know, I think women-who-hate-men could use some encouragement,
at least somedays. I get really tired of the nonsense cropping up in
net.singles and net.women from men-who-really-seem-like-they-resent-women;
maybe we should send in the shock troops.)
Is it bad to be labelled a woman-who-hates-men ? Is it worse than being
labelled a man-who-hates-women ? (probably, because it means she ain't goin'
nowhere) Is there a way you can be, you know, a reasonably competent and
successful professional woman, and avoid all resentment that could lead
to a labelling of man-hater? (or "castrating bitch" if you prefer)
Just felt like asking irresponsible questions,
Lisa S. Chabot
