It apears from what has been said that the speakers were all female because that's how the outcome of the selection turned out, not because they were deliberately selected to be female. Nothing wrong with that. What seems to be wrong is the sexist rationalizing that came later. Similarly, if speakers were selected for a conference on the basis of their qualifications, and if it just happened that they were all male, I would see nothing wrong with that. -- Rahul Dhesi <dhesi%cirrusl@oliveb.ATC.olivetti.com> UUCP: oliveb!cirrusl!dhesi
