Whilst it would be nice if someone from BWA were able to respond to Tom's concernsimmediately, I too am happy to wait until Tuesday to clarify this matter.
Irrespective of the answer I will still affiliate to this group, because I think that gender politics is an important issue in the archaeological workplace. I would also be happy to affiliate to an archaeological gay and/or lesbian group for the same reason and would genuinely be interested in a 'mens' group, if that too was centred on addressing the problems arising from gender politics in the workplace.
It seems as if BWA has already succeeded in at least starting a debate on this subject....and maybe the issues raised here would be very suitable for a general discussion forum within that group.
