I propose a poll be made up to include the following names:
1- OAFS
2- AMASOT
3- STARRY KNIGHTS
Hummm ... let's see if I've got this straight. I get to hang out with
a bunch of
1. stupid, loutish lay-abouts OR
2. small, furry nocturnal creatures with striped tails OR
3. brave and honourable gentlemen of chivalrous or quixotic spirit
How IS a girl to choose???
Just kidding...
A poll sounds good. As for whether Starry Knights should be taken off
the list for being too gender specific, in all seriousness, I don't
know what to say. I've never felt very comfortable speaking on behalf
of Womankind in general. Personally, I think it'd be cool to be a
knight (bloody well time we gals got a shot at it, eh?) However, I
can't say for sure whether the name would make some women reluctant to
join. Maybe if it did get voted in, we'd have to do something like
Richard suggested: "Despite its name, Starry Knights is an NGC - a Non
Gender-specific Club. Some of our most enthusiastic members are
actually Dames." :-)
