To men or not to men?

[ASUW Womens Action Coalition]

Excellent point.  It's very easy to get stuck in the men bad/women good
rut.

About the "ladies" thing -- you're right, not all subscribers are women.
My purpose with using that term was to take opporessive language and, by
using it, make it more accessible.  I, for one, am not a lady by any
stretch of the imagination. 

Thanks,
Meghan
