Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

as for the naming, it seems like your really stretching to find a problem were one doesn't exist. seriously, there are a lot of f&^* up things going on in the world right now, the name of this forum doesn't rate.
I believe that when the forum was called clydesdales some felt that women didn't realize they were welcome. it was changed to let them know they are welcome. some women do not appreciate being compared to a large horse. most men do not seem to mind. therefore the names that are the least offensive were used. I fail to see how the term athena could be insulting. I'm not crazy about the name clydesdale, but oh well.
I could have that all wrong but that's what I remember happening.
I would think more about why you think this is an important issue.
