If you completely rebuild your box you can still use the software, but you
have to spend a bit of time hassling Micorsoft tech support for a new

t it seemed to me to sound too much like 'justify why you are here,'
which is unecessary with Linuxchix set up as it is at present (be polite, be
helpful).

She kept the books for her father before she married.
When she died, the sons of the family gathered together and taught my

I know a lot of men who don't seem to as well. But I ask them and they
say, well of course I think about having sex with every woman I see. I
mean
hich I don't, except sometimes after reading something like that.
So it all boils down to, articles like that make me trust men a little
less, even though it just means that perhaps I shouldn't trust ESR.

en you meet a woman, any
woman. Some men have told me it's inevitable that I get sized up as a
sexual partner everytime I meet a heterosexual man. I don't like this.
And I don't like people condoning it terribly much, it's put me in some
awful s
d when there is no possibility
of sex. He doesn't address the issue of there being no possibility of
sex in the first place.
So basically, women not only defined in terms of their usefulness to me,
but defined in terms of their usefulness to men for sex.
Yum.

Fortunately, although most of the computing environments I'm involved in
are, while 97% male, not overtly sexist.
HenceI am fortunate in that I can use linuxchix to complement them,

And also, if a woman posts 'I'm not sure if this is right' and she is,
post agreement. This way, you encourage continued posting.

The issues list is mainly gender related issues, although I think there
have been unrelated threads.

Are they different? Is the difference due to the presence of men in
Linuxchix or not, or just the nature of the discussion (a women's group
that focussed on FUGGing - paintbombing sexist ads - is going to be
different from Linuxchix due to the nature of the activites too :) )?

For example, I have a friend who is generally sympathetic to women's
