newsgroup: alt.shoe.lesbians

Alt.shoe.lesbians is a comfy news group heavy on the group-huggy feeling and rich in community. The PC, everything-is-okay tone can be trying if you're used to crass company (shoes are not man made...they're human made) and Goddess lovers abound. Advice on how to deal with straight girls who end up in your bed is freely given and recruitment wins more approval than breederphobia. Although men do post occasionally, they need to be respectful of this women's space or they will be soundly smacked on the nose. There are birthday lists, a catalogue of who's who on ASL and every post is signed with a description of what the writer's feet are doing now. A convention not for everyone, perhaps, but it underscores the community feeling. - D.L.J.
