possessed the innate ability and the willingness to .work. They taught my brothers the same thing. My older brothers encouraged me in my "tomboy" attitude of equality, explaining to my mother that tomboys usually grow up un derstanding men and how to get along with them. I believe my brothers were right. I still have great respect for the men I meet. It is a pity their number is dwin dling. However, I am not prepared to work alongside boys over 21 years of age, who show no interest in becoming men. I confess to be ing impatient with them. But I am even more impatient with aging girls. Perhaps because of ingrained habit and tradition, I still expect more from females than I do from males. In their search for "change" in their society, too many idle fe males have worked on shallow lev351 352 T'RE FREEMAN June els, such as changing the suffix man to person (chairman becomes chairperson, etc.) . It is not strange to me that they did not seek to change the basic word, Woman to Woperson. They show no real awareness of the meaning of the word, WOMAN, and the responsi bility and discipline required to wear such a beautiful, powerful name.

A brief UPI news release con cerning a convention of feminists stated that four different leaders "told delegates" to do this or not do that ... A new flag was waved at the delegates. The new flag is labeled "minirape." Minirape was then defined as a physical or verbal intrusion on the rights of women as human beings. Then, the person who defined the word told the other persons at the meeting what to do about such an intrusion. I maintain that women have al ready learned how to handle such situations. In most cases they pre vent "intrusion" by behaving as women. We are aware that men are victims of minirape also, pos sibly more frequently than women. Do they need someone to tell them what to do about it? My temper is flaming again. It does every time I read things like this from a news release : Women were told to watch for and demand removal of textbooks if they show women in the traditional, lesser role of homemaker ...

Like many other women, I pre pared for and chose the role of homemaker. I have never thought it is lesser and I still do not think it is, although many have tried to make me believe it. Who are these brainwashed fe males who would like me to become a carbon copy of .themselves and my children a carbon of their own? This "maj ori ty of one" re fuses to accept the invitation to join the club. They have a right to think and become whatever they wish, but their freedom ends where mine begins! I) IDEAS ON LIBERTY What Social Classes Owe to Each Other I REGARD FRIENDSHIP as mutual, and I want to have my say about it. I suppose that other components of humanity feel in the same way about it. If so, they must regard anyone who assumes the role of a friend of humanity as impertinent. The reference to the friend of humanity back to his own business is obviously the next step.
