nah, I think R.A.H. had it right way back in 1946 when he wrote the
following (in reference to women in politics, but the same principle
holds):

"... Look ladies  --  don't be a woman politician, or a women's
politician! Be a politician who happens to be female.  You are the equals
of men - remember?  It isn't necessary to go off and form little groups of
your own; stay in the main event and start swinging."
