It was only a few short months ago that I first became aware of a new organization in the United States. Sometime last April or May, Dick Cavett was host to two ladies from the Women's Liberation Movement, an organized group concerned with the constitutional rights of women.

It is unimportant who or what these ladies were. It became quite apparent that they were only interested in bringing the fact to the public that women did not have the same rights as men did in the United States. Women's Lib has also made much headway in England and Sweden.

The most significant problem they raised was why weren't women receiving the same amount of money for working at the same job as a man? It seems quite logical when one thinks about it. For instance, why should a salesman earn twice as much as a saleswoman for doing the exact same work? One might answer because the man has to support a family and has more responsibility than a woman. Can this be called discrimination?

Grace Slick and Hugh Hefner were also on the program that evening. Hugh Hefner and Playboy magazine were criticized when one of the ladies remarked that Playboy did nothing more than exploit women for the pleasure of men. She also said that women wanted to be equal to men and not just a conversation piece. Grace Slick

retaliated by asking if they wanted to be the same and equal to men, how did they except to be treated like ladies? Naturally, this equality would abolish such traditions as opening doors, letting ladies pass first, paying for dates, etc. In other words, there would be no discrimination between the sexes whatsoever. Everyone would be the same.

Can you imagine what this would lead to in a marriage? The man would no longer be the head of the family; there would be two kings. Who ever saw peace and happiness in a country with two kings? What woman could honestly get fulfillment out of a relationship like that? Most likely, it would be constant war.

Of course, Women's Lib does have its good points. Why shouldn't women earn more money? And if some crazy chick wants to be a bricklayer, who is to say she can't? Who's to say she could do it; but then again, that's for her to find out.

I guess it all started back in the early 1900's, when women first got the right to vote. In those times women were thought of as something to have around the house and produce children. That was, until some wise bird saw the light and started a whole revolution.

As the slogan goes, "You've come a long way, baby." I just hope they stop soon, before they go too far.
