we only wish! ;-). well, since you said so, i have a question:

what do the members of the list feel about the choice of the name "third
world women"? i emphasize the term "third world", which at least to me,
seems to have "condescending" connotations to it (a term assigned to
these countries, by the "first world", or what paul feyerabend refers to
humorously as the "pushy latecomers").
