- The title implies that somebody has done something wrong. I thought I
- might read about something actually bad like Doubiagio's (sp?) vicious
- attack on Robert Bly in _Ms._ earlier this year. The text does not support
- the implication made in the title.
-
- If we are to believe the text, women entered a meeting of a public
- organization, held on public property and presented information. So what?
- This is protected by Florida's Sunshine law and I am sure everyone would
- like to have such protection, at least when it protects oneself. If you
- fear information what the hell are you doing on USENET?

- It seems that Assistant Housing Director Vicki Williams thinks that men are
- too stupid to decide for themselves if they want to read some information.
- But even so, it appears that she is more of a kid than a pig.
-
- BTW the last I heard the University of Florida has a compus rape rate
- second only to Colorado's. As I recall, the self-identified feminists
- there are mostly for real as there is no time or space for poseurs.
