Also,
      feminists
      don’t
      lash
      out
      against
      ‘‘all
      men’’.
      It
     
     
      the
      men
      that
      hold
      the
      power,
      those
      who
      direct
      our
     
     
      lives,
      that
      we
      are
      against.
      Many
      men,
      right
      here
      on
     
     
      our
      campus,
      are
      feminists
      and
      believe
      in
      feminist
     
     
      values
      but
      are
      first
      too
      ashamed
      to
      admit
      it.
      This
      is
     
     
      due
      to
      the
      distorted
      picture
      that
      many
      people
      (like
      you
     
     
      Mr.
      Editor),
      point
      of
      feminists.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      would
      also
      like
      to
      know
      who
      the
      women
      are
      that
      use
     
     
      half-truths
      and
      misquoted
      to
      prove
      their
      point.
      Per-
     
     
      haps
      you
      could
      give
      us
      an
      example
      to
      prove
      your
     
     
      point.
      Radical
      feminists
      are
      no
      different
      from
      other
     
     
      feminists.
      We
      are
      all
      striving
      fora
      common
      goal.
     
     
      It’s
      the
      people
      who
      spend
      most
      of
      their
      time
      and
     
     
      energy
      on
      this
      movement
      who
      are
      labelled
      ‘‘radical’’.
     
     
      Yet
      it
      is
      due
      to
      their
      efforts
      that
      women
      today
      enjoy
     
     
      many
      rights
      they
      never
      had
      before
      (ie
      the
      right
      to
     
     
      vote)
      Some
      people
      (like
      me)
      just
      don’t
      have
      the
      same
     
     
      amount
      of
      time
      to
      spend
      fighting
      for
      feminist
      goals,
     
     
      but
      that
      doesn’t
      make
      us
      any
      less
      of
      a
      feminist.
     
     
      Finally,
      it
      isa
      well
      known
      quote
      that
      behind
      every
     
     
      great
      man
      there
      is
      a.women.
      Perhaps
      if
      feminists
     
     
      achieve
      what
      they
      are
      striving
      for
      and
      the
      structure
      of
     
     
      patriarchy
      is
      destroyed,
      anew
      quote
      will
      evolve:
     
     
      ‘*Behind
      every
      great
      woman,
      there
      isa
      man.’”’
     
    
   
   
    
     
      In
      conclusion,
      I
      strongly
      suggest
      that
      you
      redirect
      you
     
     
      editorial
      concerns
      away
      from
      your
      own
      one
      -
      sided
     
     
      views
      and
      toward
      more
      important
      issues
      that
      reflect
     
     
      the
      concerns
      of
      the
      student
      body
      such
      as
      ‘
      ‘safe
      pas-
     
     
      sage’’,
      closure
      of
      the
      CEC
      on
      campus,
      rising
      tuition,
     
     
      government
      cutbacks,
      tax
      on
      student
      loans
      and
      maybe
     
     
      even
      the
      establishment
      of
      and
      undergrad
      degree
      in
     
     
      women’s

      Dear
      Editor:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      would
      like
      to
      take
      this
      opportunity
      to
      thank
      the
     
    

    
     
      UPEI
      Theatre
      Society
      for
      allowing
      me
      the
      opportunity
     
     
      to
      direct
      one
      of
      their
      fall
      presentations.
      This
      is
      my
     
     
      senior
      year
      and
      it
      was
      a
      wonderful
      experience!
      Yes,
     
     
      their
      were
      miscommunications,
      mess
      ups,
      missed
     
     
      classes,
      andnow
      ALL
      my
      papers
      are
      due!
      but
      whata
     
     
      great
      time
      I
      had
      working
      with
      such
      a
      high
      calibre
      of
     
     
      students!
      Ican
      also
      chalk
      this
      experience
      up
      in
      many
      :
     
     
      other
      categories
      other
      than
      theatrical.
      I
      plan
      to
      teach
     
     
      and
      allowing
      me
      to
      participate
      in
      a
      two-way
      respect
      of
     
     
      opinions,
      ideas
      and
      creativity
      canonlybeoftremen-
      |
     
     
      dous
      benefit
      in
      the
      future.
      I
      would
      also
      like
      to
      men-
     
     
      tion
      the
      personnel
      involved
      in
      this
      massive
      three-way
     
     
      production.
      The
      list
      is
      too
      long
      to
      thank
      each
      person
     
     
      that
      helped
      me
      along
      the
      way
      but
      you
      all
      know
      who
     
     
      you
      are
      and
      I
      ameternally
      grateful.
      To
      those
      of
      you
      I
     
     
      have
      just
      met
      -
      I
      consider
      you
      a
      friend
      and
      all
      that
     
     
      entails.
      To
      old
      friends
      -
      a
      big
      HUG!
      To
      those
      who
     
     
      hung
      out
      at
      my
      house
      at
      The
      Big
      Party,
      I
      must
      say
      I
     
     
      had
      second
      thoughts
      about
      offering
      my
      house
      up
      for
     
     
      the
      night
      but
      I
      put
      my
      trust
      in
      all
      of
      you
      and
      you
      paid
     
     
      me
      back
      a
      thousand-fold!
      You
      were
      all
      polite,
      intelli-
     
     
      gent
      human
      beings
      who
      acted
      that
      way
      and
      I
      awoke
      to
     
     
      a
      clean
      house
      and
      a
      good
      feeling.
      The
      bottom
      line
      to
     
     
      this
      experience
      -
      we
      have
      some
      great
      students
      on
      this
     
     
      campus
      and
      when
      given
      the
      opportunity
      to
      strut
      their
     
     
      stuff-
      WOW!
      Thanks
      everyone!
