That one elicited about the loudest flamefest I've ever seen, in
discuss@tldp.org.  If you can find that thread in their archives, and
stand to wade through it all, you might find your answers there.

I think (eg.) "Networking For Women" workshops are demeaning and
insulting to women.  "What, you don't think I could handle a real
networking course?!?  Pig!"  The women I hang with agree.  When I say
something about it on-line, I'm roundly condemned for it from all
sides.

Sometimes, I think the race just doesn't want to grow out of its often
stupid ways.
