Once Josh scans it he should post it here for everyone. It's pretty neat. However, I do recommend reading it with some discussion. As an identified male who was initially against a gender-specific night, it took both the zine and a good hour-and-a-half long discussion to sway my opinion.

Wait. I don't get it. Why do women need a space and time that's all their own? I haven't read the zine, can someone summarize it?
The bike collective here in Davis has a day that's specifically for women, but I don't think men are excluded, should they wander through.

haha. awesome. no, it's not an april fool's joke. altho i do love that title.
the zine was produced in an effort to explain to guys why women need/deserve a space and time that's all their own. the idea being that when a guy shows up and wants to use the shop during women's time, if after trying to explain that "it's ladies night, please come back later..." and he still doesn't get it, give him the zine, and hope that it will help explain it.

hey all,
i'm looking to get in touch with the person who wrote/published the "no boys allowed" zine which was passed out at bikebike in san francisco. it was part of one of the oppression and gender identity issues workshops. we're looking to start a women's night here at community cycles, and i'd like to scan my copy as a pdf and email it to potential volunteers, as well as make some copies to have in the shop...
if you're on the list, or if you know the person who wrote it (her name escapes me), please get in touch with me off list...
thanks!
