That's where most us are disagreeing. we think the women who are the
volunteers, are just as intelligent and capable as everyone else. :-)
There is no evidence at all, that anyone is ignoring the past history of
voulnteer support.
Although there is quite a lot of evidence that the women setting up this
organisation, are not turning to women who have done the work in other
orgs, and sharing the collective wisdom, as they are being fed up
labelled as young, naive and too inexperienced to know what they've
gotten themselves into.
Cassandra's curse, was not that she understood the future, but that no
one would listen to her.
