Hey,. I have nothing whatsoever against women, and still less in our chosen profession, like Leslie, I've been doing this for years (37??) and find that women bring something special to our industry, and I also deplore that there seems to be less and less of them. My objection was much more generic than that .. Woman hate when their excluded and raise a stick when they are, but never hesitate to have women only activities. If we had Men Only activities, they would scream blue murder, and yet here we are all happy about being excluded from a women only hackfest...
