Dear
      Editor,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      would
      like
      to
      reflect
      my
      own
      personal
      views
      regard-
     
     
      ing
      last
      week’s
      editorial.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      First
      of
      all,
      you
      state
      that
      women
      blame
      men
      for
      ©
     
    

    
     
      _
      everything
      from
      global
      warming
      to
      natural
      disaster
     
     
      and
      that
      the
      general
      view
      is
      that
      men
      are
      “‘bad’’
      and
     
     
      that
      women
      are
      ‘‘good’’.
      GET
      REAL
      -
      thisisa
     
     
      GROSS
      exaggeration
      on
      your
      part.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      _
      Secondly,
      there
      is
      no
      such
      thing
      as
      a
      typical
      feminist
     
     
      because
      the
      word
      feminism
      has
      a
      personal
      meaning
     
     
      for
      every
      women
      -
      and
      man
      for
      that
      matter.
      I
      do
      not
     
     
      consider
      myself
      a
      feminist
      with
      in
      the
      confines
      of
     
     
      your
      stereo
      typical
      definition.
      That
      is,
      1
      amnota
      |
     
     
      mean
      man
      hating
      fighter.
      However,
      I
      do
      believe
     
     
      strongly
      that
      there
      are
      no
      limits
      to
      what
      I
      can
      achieve
     
     
      regardless
      of
      my
      sex.
      This
      I
      will
      firmly
      believe
      until
     
     
      such
      a
      time
      that
      1am
      proven
      wrong.
      Ofcourse
      I
     
     
      acknowledge
      obvious
      physical
      differences
      between
     
     
      men
      and
      women
      but
      barring
      these
      physical
      differences
     
     
      I
      will
      attempt
      to
      achieve
      what
      I
      believe
      I
      can
      achieves.
     
     
      Does
      this
      make
      me
      a
      horrid
      feminist?
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Your
      whole
      article
      stereotyped
      the
      feminist
      movement
     
     
      and
      more
      importantly
      allwomen.
      My
      point
      is
      that
     
     
      this
      type
      of
      stereotypical
      behaviour
      constitutes
      half
      of
     
     
      the
      problem
      women
      face
      in
      the
      first
      place!
      Let
      me
     
     
      say
      that
      I
      did
      agree
      with
      a
      few
      of
      your
      points
      but
      that
     
     
      I
      was
      personally
      offended
      with
      the
      stereotype
      you
     
     
      used.
      There
      is
      no
      one
      accurate
      picture
      of
      the
      feminist
     
     
      movement
      -
      the
      accuracy
      lies
      in
      each
      individuals
      view
     
     
      of
      the
      situation.

      T
      applaud
      your
      editorial
      Mr.
      Editor,
      when
      you
      wrote
      ~
     
     
      that
      there
      are
      certain
      feminists
      who
      are
      not
      giving
      the
     
     
      honourable
      meanings
      to
      their
      deeds.
      This
      particular
      —
     
     
      article
      is
      such
      an
      example
      of
      the
      ridicule
      that
      the
     
     
      author
      placed
      herself
      in.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      don’t
      understand
      why
      Miss
      Smith
      wanted
      to
      put
      this”
     
     
      article
      in.
      We
      should
      be
      thankful
      that
      there
      are
      pills
      —
     
     
      now
      to
      help
      women
      prevent
      the
      further
      development
     
     
      of
      their
      offsprings,
      and
      that
      I
      know
      ONLY
      some
      men
     
     
      support
      the
      anti-abortion
      movement.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Further
      more,
      the
      impression
      that
      I
      have
      of
      the
      the-
     
     
      Bill-Of-Rights-would-have-been
      which
      states:

      Liberty,
      andl
     
     
      the
      Pursuit
      of
      Abortion.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Firstly,
      if
      the
      author
      understand
      those
      words,
      she
      will
     
     
      notice
      that
      they
      are
      contradicting
      themselves,
      and
      i
     
     
      secondly,
      I
      despise
      those
      women
      who
      are
      so
      into
      their
      ©
     
     
      careers
      that
      their
      children
      are
      not
      first
      priority,
      thus
      1
     
     
      ‘*the
      Pursuit
      of
      Abortion’’.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      j
     
     
      ‘
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Where
      are
      your
      morals???
     
    
   
   
    
     
      An
      up-dated
      lady
      who
      wants
      life.
      :
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      A
      response
      to
      “If
      Men
      had
      Babies”’.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      It
      is
      totally
      stupid
      to
      say
      that
      ABORTION
      would
      be
     
     
      universally
      legal
      if
      men
      could
      bear
      children.
      There
     
    
   
   
    
     
      are
      many
      men
      who
      are
      against
      abortion
      and
      this
      stance
      ©
     
    
   
   
    
     
      has
      nothing
      to
      do
      with
      subordinating
      women.
      Grow
     
     
      up
      and
      face
      the
      facts,
      what
      the
      writer
      was
      doing
      was
     
     
      beating
      around
      the
      bush.
      It
      sounds
      to
      me
      like
      she
     
    
   
   
    
     
      wants
      abortion
      by
      demand.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      And
      the
      put
      down
      about
      volunteers?
      Atleast
      the
     
     
      victim
      knows
      that
      the
      volunteer,
      receiving
      no
      pay,
     
     
      really
      cares
      about
      the
      victim.
     
    
   
   
    
     
        
     
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      That
      article
      is
      misleading
      and
      totally
      lacking
