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,
