I concur. I also respect that some women feel that having a "safe place" 
to discuss issues would be helpful to them. There has been much ridicule 
on this list, and the en list, concerning the hostile atmosphere towards 
women, which would seem to underscore their concerns. Why bring up an 
issue when a large number of men will respond "There's no problem! 
You're just too sensitive!" and dismiss their concerns?
