Subject: We should try to make women all feel welcome

In response to un person's message 29798:

I'm sure it wasn't un's intent (and i'm absolutely certain
un is a man) to make women feel uncomfortable, but if we
say women are becoming man-like in order to be employed
(because of whatever outside reasons), it sure may make
some women feel uncomfortable.  And for the women
who disagree, it may be awkward to try to respond.

I think that Chris M (29786) is right:
   We are all on the same side. Does anyone here think we can afford
   not to be?

I'm not saying that un was doing anything intentional, but we all
(including me) can be more sensitive.  (And i'm also not commenting
[agree or disagree] on the rest of un's message, which should
be thought about.  After all he is one of us few.)
