This is addressed to male submitters to net.women.only.  Did you notice
what happened when the topic of "static cling" recently came up in
that news group?  Started out peaceful enough, but then some men jumped
in to deride the whole idea (one even indirectly accused women of
succombing to Madison Ave. brainwashing for believing that static cling
even exists).  Okay, so naturally the women involved have to stop to
defend themselves and the whole thing begins to degenerate.  Does this
give you any hint as to why men were asked not to contribute to that
group?

Come on guys!  There's nothing that prevents us from sitting
back and watching.  Keep your comments and gripes over here in net.women.
