I don't have a problem with people starting an all women list
specifically on this topic through whatever appropriate list serve
service seems appropriate. It can make its own rules about participants.
The impression I got was the proposal was to make *this* the all women
list, which I oppose. With all back and forth one gets confused.

I second. The problem is aggression and trying to
impose one's agenda, and
whether you are male, female, M2F transgender or F2M transgender, you can be
aggressive and disruptive. (And I've been on a couple all women lists over
the years where M2F transgenders were very aggressive, condescending and
disruptive.) I don't see any agreement with Ms. Hale's proposal and I think
we need to drop it.
It's true, though, that there are things I would post about Wikipedia
on a women-only list, if I could be 100 percent sure that's what it
was. And as if to prove that point, I just typed out an example, then
deleted it because I felt uncomfortable. :) So even if Laura's
proposal isn't being supported, I hope it gives food for thought. And
there's nothing to stop her from setting up such a list herself.
