Lines: 17 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. -- Randy Trigg ...!seismo!umcp-cs!randy (Usenet) randy%umcp-cs@CSNet-Relay (Arpanet)
