Trying as suggested ...
gw# /usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist
'women&cybercrime@???<women%26cybercrime@???>
'
Enter the email of the person running the list: odhiambo@???
Initial women&cybercrime password:
Create a new, unpopulated mailing list.
Usage: /usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist [options] [listname [listadmin-addr
[admin-password]]]
[snip]
...
Illegal list name: women&cybercrime

is being too ambitious.
