Which part is not validating (I assume you mean (X)HTML validation)?
If it's the document.write stuff, have you tried simply removing the
doc.writes? I'm not sure why they are there in the first place, but I
assume you've simplified the script somewhat for explanation purposes.

Also, the links should really be something like this:

<a href="/g/IAmAWoman.asp" onclick="IAmAWoman(); return false;">...</a>

That way it works without javascript. (Really, you should assign
onclick on page load and not have it mixed in with the markup.)
