an
      incredible
      load
      of
      bullshit.
      I
      think
      that
      women
      are
     
     
      just
      as
      capable
      of
      being
      dominant
      and
      men
      are
      just
      as
     
     
      capable
      of
      being
      kind
      and
      lov'ng.
      The
      proof
      of
      the
     
     
      latter
      is
      that
      men
      are
      dying
      of*in
      droves
      at
      an
      early
     
     
      age
      because
      their
      emotions
      are
      being
      crushed.
      Now,
      I
      ‘
     
     
      have
      driven
      bulldozers.
      I
      have
      shovelled
      shit.
      I
      have
     
     
      built
      barns.
      I
      have
      flattened
      men
      on
      their
      backs
      and
     
     
      fucked
      them
      until
      their
      eyeballs
      popped
      out.
      I
      have
     
     
      carried
      a
      knife
      from
      time
      to
      time.
      But
      also,
      Iam
     
     
      incredibly
      tender
      and
      loving
      to
      my
      children.”’
     
    

    
     
      (Sharon
      Devlin
      as
      quoted
      by
      Margot
      Adler)
     
    
   
   
    
     
      After
      reading
      this,
      two
      questions
      come
      to
      mind:
     
     
      (1)
      why
      would
      anybody
      listen
      to
      these
      people/womyn,
     
     
      and
     
    
   
   
    
     
      (2)
      why
      are
      they
      not
      being
      committed
      to
      a
      mental
     
     
      institution?
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      have
      failed
      to
      find
      any
      reference
      as
      to
      what
      a
     
     
      *“*womyn’’
      is,
      butI
      do
      now
      know
      what
      ‘‘wimmin’’
     
     
      are.
      So,
      I
      conclude
      with
      this
      proposal:
      we
      call
      all
     
     
      those
      ‘‘normal
      people’’
      of
      the
      feminine
      sex
     
     
      *“WOMEN,”’’
      and
      all
      those
      who
      ascribe
      to
      the
      above
     
     
      description
      of
      the
      feminine
      sex
      ‘‘
      WOMYN”’
      or
     
     
      **WIMMIN.”’’
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Dear
      Editor:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      lam
      very
      upset
      at
      the
      recent
      features
      that
      have
      been
     
     
      appearing
      in
      your
      newspaper.
      How
      can
      your
      paper
     
     
      print
      such
      trash
      as
      Kirby
      Fergusons
      top
      ten
      album
     
     
      picks?
      Have
      you
      no
      standards?
      There
      was
      nota
      single
     
     
      mention
      of
      any
      Elvis
      Presley
      albums
      on
      his
      list
      let
     
     
      alone
      in
      the
      number
      one
      position
      where
      they
      belong.
     
     
      In
      the
      future
      I
      hope
