Giving up the power of privilege
inally the two year dispute is over. The Nova FScotia Human Rights Commission ruled, on March 17, that Pandora, a local feminist newspaper, has the right to maintain its women's only policy. A man filed a complaint with the commission almost two years ago after Pandora refused to run a letter he wrote. He felt the paper's women's only policy discriminated against men. 1\~fJM"I"T~ The Commission decided that Pandora's policy ~ ... ~~.-.-=-- does not constitute discrimination because it is in place in order to empower women, a traditionally disadvantaged group.
This decision confirms the attitude that reverse c EE$rrrCii~ discrimination is not discrimination. People in privileged positions, do not and cannot face dis crimination because of their membership in a -----·- privileged group. For example, white people may experience situations differently than members of a visible minority, however, this is not discrimination. When heterosexuals are not allowed into a meeting of lesbians and gays, this is not discrimination. Nor is affirmative action discrimination. The Pandora decision is extremely important for anyone who is concerned with the elimination of all forms of oppression. It means the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission fully recognizes that in order to promote equality, people in privileged positions will have to give up some of their power. Promoting equality cannot simply occur through raising the status and privilege of the disempowered. Men will not have access to print their views in The Dalhousie Gazette welcomes letters to the edito_r. Letters shou_ld n~t exceed 300 words in_ length every newspaper in Halifax.
