fomen provide reason for humor

1985 ~ North Shore News

ANY TIME I want a laugh, which is often, I take
a look at the North Shore Women’s Centre

Newsletter.

Not that I laugh too heart-
ily, you understand, secing
that the Centre gets so many
of our bucks from Brian
Baloney or whoever happens
to be in Ottawa,

So there I was, digging

away in the interest of
humor, when I discover
from the current newsletter
that North Shore women

aren’t too keen on attending

rape protest meetings.
‘‘What's the matter,’’ asks

NSWC biggy Jancis An-

drews, ‘‘don’t North Shore

women get raped?’’

, Could be. In any event,

the Andrews lament reads
this way (and don’t blame
me for the bad English);

“On Sep. 20, the annual
Take Back the Night march
organized by Rape Relief
will take place ... This year’s
march will be bigger and
better than ever, with cight-
feet talf puppets and other
events emphasizing women's
right to be free from the
threat of male violence. .

‘Personally, 1 was disap-
pointed last year in that !
was the only one from our
centre on the march. What's
the matter — don't North
Shore women get raped
then? Is the Lions Gate
Bridge really that big an
obstacle?

“Rape Relief takes the
trouble of organizing this
march upon themselves, and
it seems to me that the least
we can do is support them.
Besides, ‘in spite of the
seriousness of the theme —
the march itself is fun!’

There you have it. The fun
run plus the lack of male
beastliness. Things are get-
ting better al! the time!

If you ask me, some-
body’s grants should be cut
off.

it’s too much.
