- I think this is NOT a group FOR the XXs, it is one that addresses issues
- that XXs face. But my experience with a women's group when I was a grad
- student suggested that there are a lot of problems that women face in science
- that trouble men as well, and a lot of men arent happy with the way
- women are treated either. We need to work together to change things, XXs and
- XYs.
-
- just my tuppence.
