Ross, unless the flamers are the same people who consider AWC to not
be sexist, NO inconsistency exists.    Just a difference of opinion.

If men really don't have any kind of organization behind them, whose
fault is that?  What, a little ridicule stopped you?  Do you think 
that NOW just materialized out of thin air, and that it continues to
exist through inertia?  

Don't be silly.  Women have these groups because people perceive a 
need, and care enough about it to donate time and money to make it
happen.  LOTS and LOTS of time and money.

Back to the trenches....
