In reply to woods:  I (along with many other feminists) fully
realize where the power in our society lies!  We also realized,
generations ago, that women do not get rights by "asking" or
waiting for men to give it to us.  It is unrealistic to expect
that.  It is also not our responsibilty to "actively enlist"
men; it is up to them to educate themselves (just as it is my
responsibility to own up to racism; as I reap the rewards of racism, 
so do men reap the rewards of sexism.)
