from July 2014
A staunch woman’s lib. supporter in my teens, I was intent to do anything a man (or boy) could do from drinking whiskey to off-loading delivery trucks ( I was pretty good at it too!) There were lots of things to fight for back then in the 60’s, equal pay and opportunities were a far off dream and I was proud I gained my degree place in the “manly” art of sculpture against tough masculine competition.
Another movement began; strange they called themselves feminists as they seemed to want to copy or compete in male behavior. This caused me to question my feelings. I didn’t want to be a “dumb blond” or a second class citizen, but I also didn’t really want to be a man. Though I didn’t let on I rather enjoyed being courted with flowers and chocolate, to have gentlemen open doors and carry things for me…

Equality is something we are born with that comes from God. We shouldn’t have to earn it by being what we aren’t. I am of the same generation and though, I don’t want to be treated the way my mom and aunts were treated, I don’t want to stop being feminine either. I think the fight should have focused on recognizing the equality of all including women but not on women becoming like men.
Agreed!
