Our community is strengthened by having the Wikichicks be part of it,
tell
everyone their opinions and help on Wikipedia and the other sites along

the others. It is not strengthened by putting them on a separate list so they hear noone and noone hears them. Having them do their thing and us
do
ours is an option. But it's a much worse option than actively working together.
If a man makes a sexist remark on a mailing list but there are no women to hear it, is he still a misogynist?
What the hell does that have to do with my remark???
"If a man says something in a forest but there are no women to hear it, is he still wrong?"

Yes, putting all the women on one list and all the men on another is /such/ a good idea. Then it doesn't matter what the men say, they won't be offending any women, will they. </sarcasm>
