The Philly group seems to be more exclusive than the one I mentioned 
earlier, in that the Triangle Linux Chicks tolerated men on the mailing 
list and at meetings whereas the Philly group makes it pretty clear 
that men aren't welcome.

From the Linux Chix FAQ:  "LinuxChix is intended to be an inclusive 
group where everyone is and feels welcome."

From the Philly Linux Chix site: "Any women interested is invited to 
subscribe to our mailing list" and "Philly Chix is a group that strives 
to create a friendly female only question, work, collaboration and 
discussion forum." or "Women who have been using linux for years, who 
are new to linux, or who are merely curious and want a female-only 
environment to ask questions are all welcome to join." or "Women only 
please"

Does this seem inclusive to you?  Do any of the guys feel welcome?
