Ubuntu-Women Goals (was: [UbuntuWomen] (No, you're not... :))

[KingBahamut]

Id certainly aggree with you on that basis Elizabeth. While admireable as it
may sound, becoming too Gender-specific can only cause a number of problems.
I wouldnt imagine that Social alienation based on tthe willingness for those
of a specific gender to garner information from one specific gender would be
a good thing. Rather , fostering properly the knowledge within a group of
Women, allowing that growth to show positive contribution to the Community
as a whole is more likely.

Of course, I could be wrong, and in which case then, someone throw a book in
my direction , specifically aimed at my head.
