Danny,

The name change you are suggesting is actually hurtful for the purposes 
of this group. The group aims at solving issues related to women. 
Changing its name to something that takes women out of the equation is 
the opposite of the group's aims...

I'm a male and I've been a [passive] member of the group now for about a 
year (I believe?) - I would suggest to any interested men just to 
subscribe and listen. It helps a lot.

Thanks.
