"Children learn what they live"

[c_alexander]

i am not understanding why this deserves a letter or two. There is a place in Evansville here that does the same thing for ALL sexes. It's called the Small business incubator, and is part of the local SBA. Jsut about every major city has aa chapter of the Small business administration offering service just like the ones listed here. If some womens group wants to make it for women doesn't mean a guy could ask to use their services. If they said no then it would be discrimination...but still.
