Agree!

Would there be a use for a .men group as well (with men already being the
vast majority here)?  Is political correctness the only reason to create a
.men group in parallel, or would it actually find usage?

I'd guess not, until it really becomes requested. To be honest, I'd probably
prefer to see a .christian newsgroup before I saw a .men newsgroup, just because
".men" speaks to roughly 95% of the LUGNET population (going by membership
gender), and would probably would be of little use in creating a sub-community.
Not that I see any harm in creating such a group, I guess I just don't really
see the need.
