As for a 'good' feminist role model. I believe you could be
unconsciously supporting a nice-girl lie down accept the 
'right' way kind of person. Over here on alt.cyberpunk, many 
think that's a crock of shit. I say don't muck about when you're
trying to bring about a revolution of consciousness. I don't think
Rosie was abusive or rude or anything but (systematically)
unacceptable to the status quo.

I think rosie was trying to point out a couple of "Berlin walls" of
the net (and elsewhere, I might add myself) which many blind people
don't know are there. The problem is often that people find things
too radical and dismiss them out of hand. I don't think the idea of
patriarchal systematic ingrained sexist structures too radical to grasp
and I think the speedier the smashing of these walls the better.
