PO Box 1980

I've just come from one of my favorite AA meetings, and I have an old familiar feeling--resentment! Two new gals (young and attractive) were there. Do you know, I had a hard time trying to talk with them, because the men in the group were surrounding them. I went through this same thing for a while, and believe me, it doesn't help the new gal. I don't hate men. In fact, I think they're great! But may I please ask the men in the program to just give us AA gals a chance to help the new, attractive women who come to AA for help? When I was new, I thought the gals were wonderful, but some of the men really seemed godlike to me. The hero-worship bit just might cause some serious problems, especially if either the new gal or the AA man or both are married. The spouses are usually pretty mixed up, sometimes fed up, and pretty well sick of it all. They just can't and won't take too well to any more complications. They don't need any more problems.
