WOMEN: A different view

Good heavens, Sasha Fisher (Ltr 13 Mar 16), to what do we owe your paean to women? My mother was a woman and right at the end of World War II she carried my sister and me and a pistol with three bullets in case the Soviet army caught up with us. I know how tough a woman can be, but your song applies only to one half of the female population of the USA. The other half has fallen into belief in Hollywood’s super-woman fantasies where a woman slaps around men much bigger than themselves while in real life when they try that they get clobbered and fall back on “you can’t hit a girl.”

As for a woman’s “sincere honesty in discussing the matters important to her in truth and not disguising it as to lessen its importance,” you disguise the importance of honesty in discussing a woman’s killing her own baby, while calling it “my own body,” “women’s health,” etc. If you still can’t admit to dishonesty, I give you Hillary Clinton as exhibit one.

On a different, though related subject, isn’t it interesting how schools and other places are setting up safe zones to protect women from unwanted male advances and condemning anyone who dares suggest that women share any part of responsibility by the way they display their wares. Yet, it’s the fault of non-muslims that we resist no-go zones and it’s Trump’s fault that he held a peaceful rally in the no-go zone called Chicago which came under liberal attack.
