MAY 7 1Q7' On Women by Bebe Yaffe The man, more robust, is fitted for severe labor, YOUR WIFE and for field exercise; the woman, more delicate, is fitted for sedentary occupations, and particularly for nursing children. The man, bold and vigorous, is qualified for being a protector; the woman, delicate, and timid, requires protections. Hence it is that a man never admires a woman for possessing bodily strength or personal courage; and women always despise men who are totally destitute of these qualities. The man, as a protector, is directed by nature to govern; the woman, conscious of in IOP THIS

feriority, is disposed to obey. Their intellectual S h e G i v e s U p Ev r y t h i n g powers correspond to the destination of nature. Man’s larger brain. 3 pounds, 1.73 ounces, as op­ A C r o w n o f G o l d - posed to the average female brain size of 2 pounds, H e s W e d d i n g R i n g ! 12.83 ounces, gives him decided intellectual superiority. Men have penetration and solid judgement to fit them for governing, women have sufficient un­ derstanding to make a decent figure under a good government; a greater portion would excite dangerous rivalry between the sexes, which nature has avoided by giving them different talents. i_ysic 5v Women have more imagination and sensibility than An d p e u Do n n elly men which make all their enjoyments more exquisite; at the same time that they are better /Ippison Burkmardt qualified to communicate enjoyment. Add another capital difference of disposition; The gentle and MUSIC insinuating manners of the female sex tend to soften the roughness of the other sex; and wherever AL PIANTADOSl women are indulged with any freedom, they polish WRITER OF sooner than men. I Di d n t R a i s e My 8 o y To B e A S o l d i e r These are not the only particulars that distinguish I/m a t a W o n d e r f u l M o t m e r Y t X J D B e the sexes. With respect to the ultimate end of love, it is the privilege of the male, as superior and protector, to make a choice; the female preferred has no privilege but barely to consent or to refuse . . Among all nations it is the practice for men to court and for women to be courted; and were the most beautiful woman on earth to invert this practice, she would forfeit the esteem, however by her external grace she might excite the desire, of the man whom she addressed. The greatest moral virtues which may be comprehended under the general term integrity are all absolutely necessary to make either men or women estimable; but to procure esteem to the female character, the modesty peculiar to their sex is a very essential circumstance. Nature hath provided them with it as a defense against the artful solicitations of the other sex before marriage, and also as a support to conjugal fidelity.

The group has not been in operation this term and A number of women came because they wanted to raise their level of awareness about the womens’ movement and how it could benefit them. Others of us came to the group with an awareness of the usefulness of the womens’ movement, hoping to meet other women who were concerned, and thus having a group which was supportive and talkative about our roles in society and at Lawrence. The first meeting I went to we talked about gyneocological services available in Appleton and state laws concerning abortion and birth control Each woman offered her opinions on the subject and her knowledge of what was available in Appleton and what the state said women could and could not do. One woman spoke of her experiences with various gynecologists in the city and the opinions which each doctor had about such matters as birth control, abortion, venereal disease, and premarital sex. The whole meeting was very informative and was a good basis from which point further discussion could emerge. Yet there were several problems with the group. One of the inadequacies of the group was the high turnover of women who would come. Each time a new woman would enter the group or a previous member did not come there were the usual problems of adjusting to a new situation and new thoughts. The group had the possibility for being tight-knit and really responsive to each other, yet with the high turnover rate, the continuity was never realized. One of the student members of the group had the opinion that the group had never really defined its goals. We never really decided on what format to take, whether we should be a class with assigned readings to be discussed or whether.to be a rap group just discussing problems which were bugging us. The discussions, on the whole, were worthwhile, but some of us felt that in a college atmosphere we just did not have time to sit around and talk in an

First, who am I? I’m a 28 year old woman; a college graduate in liberal arts. I have worked as a vocational counselor and have continued career aspirations in counseling and social work. I was raised in an urban environment- New York City to be exact. My mother, in today’s lingo, was a liberated woman who was a dedicated teacher The values which were emphasized in my home were independence, social commitment, and respon­ sibility. 1 am now a housewife, a mother of a two year old son, with a second child due in August, and lest I forget, the wife of a faculty member. What are the conflicts that have arisen between my roles in the home and my broader view of my role as a woman in the community? Despite the anti-children’s rhetoric of many woman’s groups, I have found motherhood to be more gratifying and fulfilling than most other endeavors. Personally, I have found unqualified joy in watching and aiding our child grow. The moments of childhood are so short and the foundation laid so important that I am not prepared to relinquish my role as a mother to any public insititution. I believe one of the problems in our society has been the takeover by public in stitutions of personal functions, and from this takeover a great deal of alienation has developed. It was a personal decision we’ve made (my husband and I) that I would stay home with our children in these early years. We are fortunate that we are able to afford this financially. This is not necessarily an ideal situation for every woman, but it has worked well for us. However, the mother-at-home role is not without its drawbacks; there are intellectual frustrations, a feeling that you are only using a part of your abilities. Who’s going to discuss Beckett’s plays or the ramifications of the Middle East situation while you scrub the floors? There is also the fear of losing your career ambitions, feeling you’re standing still while the world passes you by. There is also an element of jealousy as you see your friends and your husband surpass you in their career pursuits when you believe you are equally well qualified. I rationalize this by reminding myself that I’m in a Mr., Master, Ms. Schwartz and Schroeder temporary holding pattern and will have many good productive working years ahead Another refuge for the house-bound woman is community activities. I have always felt a personal commitment and responsibility to make some contribution towards bettering society. This has been exceedingly difficulty for me to do in Appleton been the duties delegated to a political novice in a been interesting and stimulating.

JOYCE WALKER Editor’s Note: It may seem a tad in­ congruous. if not blatant poor taste, to run reviews of porno flicks in the Women’s Issue. We tend to agree. However, we asked "Frank" and "Charles” to go to Oshkosh because we thought it would be interesting. And we include the reviews this week because pornography, prostitution, and the like represent the extremes of human sexual exploitation, male or female. As a mild precaution against hasty judgment of porno movie goers in Oshkosh: We were talking with a Lawrentian who mentioned going to the skin flicks in Boston one afternoon out of curiosity. As he and a friend were leaving the theater, they were commenting on all the hard up middle aged men who couldn’t get what they needed at home. Then it occurred to them to wonder what those middle aged men were thinking of two students who shelled out their three dollars and yet were members of the Free Love generation.

Both men and women have discovered that movement of whatever type vigorous, competitive, slow, fast -is an exhilarating feeling and has nothing whatsoever to do with masculinity or femininity. We’re At Lawrence the program is so structured that there is an attempt to provide equality of op­ portunity. Every woman has a chance to participate Ready For You! if she wishes. Sport for our women is not a closed shop -just for the talented or just for the exercise fiends or just for the “funners.” The purpose of learning a skill is to use it and there are four main areas in which this can be done: 1.) Physical education classes provide the chance to become acquainted with a new activity and learn the basic skills of that sport or to stick with an activity and try to develop an in-depth knowledge Many women come to Lawrence lacking skill in some of the very basic movements- throwing, running, jumping, etc.- and consequently they are hampered in their efforts to develop basic skills in a sport or they choose not to explore a sport with which they are unfamiliar 2.) Intramurals is a program that received impetus through the Povolny Report and has grown in the past several years. Several years ago a Women’s Recreation Association existed which made T iU u is Bn m o w n opportunities for competition on an intramural basis available for women.
