I don't think you can gain anything by posting in net.women.only. I challenge you to come up with a specific reason why you would like everybody to post there. Net.women.olny is not hurting anyone, and if you want to create a net.group.for.cretins.who.enjoy.crashing.other.newsgroups.only, go ahead. Most of us will just unsubscribe. Do you feel that you are being discriminated against by not being wanted to post there? I feel that is pretty parallel with the reaction of my 4 year old cousin when I won't let him into my room because I want some privacy. The people that read net.women.only would like others to respect their privacy, and that sounds like a reasonable request, so I believe we should honor it. Lastly, I believe that this was pretty much hashed over during the furor regarding the creation of the group, so if you believe that public favor is with you, I would suggest getting someone to send you archives of the the discussion during that period of time.
