- This reminds me of the limited logic & statistics presented by news
- reporters on various "feminist issuses" (yes other topics suffer the same
- problem). Example: I've lost count of the number of times it's been

- the percentage of women who have ever put their hat in the ring as opposed
- to the number of men. Is it possible that a lack of women in congress is
- due to a lack of women running, or just men keeping them down? Also, is it
- possible that the lack of women posting to this board is due to a lack of
- women with E-Mail accounts, or just a male thing to ...? --Jay
