I am not "minimizing" anything, Fluffy. If the females involved here need and want a place where they can commiserate with one another about their feelings on this issue that's fine. A separate List could be created for that. But, if the true purpose of of the "Gendergap" List is to try to identify and resolve the problem in the Project, then separating the Lists would be counterproductive.

So those of us who feel we're being drowned out by men shouting about what's best for us without listening to our opinions - we have "a problem", do we?
Really now, take a look at what you just wrote and maybe give some thought to whether minimizing the feelings of the women on this list is REALLY the tack you want to take here.

This is simply, nonsense! Don't you people realize that separating this List
into two distinct ones would underline, reinforce and actually signify the
very "gendergap" you are allegedly trying to resolve. This is people talking
with people. If there is a female or male here who has a problem
communicating with, or in the presence of, another gender - they do have a
problem. But a website Mailing List such as this is not the place to resolve
it.
