>Just for thought...what would be the impact of an organization called
"webguys", whose written and published policy was to not let women
participate (except when they needed to bring a date.), nonprofit or
not...and would that organization be promoted as a resource on this list
knowing that maybe 50% (or more) of the subscribers are women?
>Do we also promote resources whose written and published policy is to
exclude minorities?
Well, I checked out the Webgrrls site -- found lots of articles, tips, etc.,
on web design, careers, and such, and nobody asked for my gender before
they'd let me see the info...
DigitalEve's bylaws state quite specifically that "DigitalEve membership is
open to any woman *or man*..." (emphasis mine).
Looks to me like both of these groups offer at least some benefits to all
interested parties, regardless of gender, which makes them resources worth
mentioning on this list.
