Lib convention j

By PAT CRAWFORD
We arrived biased, believing Women's Liberation was comprised
ol bisexual bitches with organizational leanings
And. since no one proved us wrong, we left believing the same
thing.
Ihe first North Carolina Women's Liberation conference was
held in fayetteville on Saturday. Sept. 1?
lout female members ol the Fountainhead Itafl set oul on the
trip, expecting a bta-hummg. a catfight. or (at the very least I an
afternoon ol passionate rhetoric.

THE ORGANIZERS WERE LOSERS
Roughly sixty young women sat in a latge circle m the Square's
center, smoking, flicking ashes and looking terribly terribly
bored
Most wore jeans and workshirts, aims khakis, t-shirts and
steel-rimmed glasses.
Most wete also undeniably ugly Had they been grotesque to
begin, with 01 did they become grotesque after joining Women's

At any tate, the Fayetteville organizers were losers. Ten or 15

department said Margie Segal, an instructor at Chapel Hill.
"I'm taking auto mechanics volunteered a high school
student Slxiv young women applauded.
"We've organized a judo and karate club said another, and all
the taces nodded encouragement.
INDIVIDUAL REGIONAL REPORTS
doing around the circle, each liberated woman rose and gave a
brief regional report. Two of those present-a blonde from
California and a black Army wife from Ft Bragg-were given the
attention usually reserved for rare birds.
The blonde had worked with the Women's Liberation Front in
San Diego, worked on a commune and came to North Carolina a
week before the meeting. Her comments concerned the uroup
jealousy prevalent in a number of WLF chapters.
"Women aren't used to a lot of power she said, "and when
they get it it's very easy for them to become corrupt
The Army wife received attention for perhaps a single
outstanding reason: she was the only Black present
Her proposal was to begin Women's Lib groups for military
wives This was in keeping with the WLF axiom that the women
most in need of liberation are "high school women and G.I.

WOMEN CAN'T HAVE LAST NAMES'
Another claimed to have been in Fayetteville for four months
"on an extended week-long vacation She planned to attend the
International Women's Conference in Montreal. "My name's
Marion she said. "I don't have a last name because women can't
have las! names
One Charlotte, N.C. female wanted to form a women's
commune.
After the personal accounts were cleared away, the Fayetteville
women rose to tell of their urban revolution fhev had'picketed
pornographic films and the Miss July 4 beauty contest lor
"exploiting women" they were protesting unfair wages for
waitresses in the area. One young woman rose to demand ihat
employment listings be in alphabetical, not sexual, order.
FASCINATING LITERATURE
The meeting broke for lunch. So tar it had resembled nothing
more radical than a huge dorm meeting More correctly, it
resembled a board conference for a company that did a great deal
of speaking, a great deal of organizing, and verv little of anything
else.
During the break, we of the Fountainhead mingled, argued,
and puttered around the information table The pamphlet titles
were far too fascinating to pass up: "The Mvth ot Women's
Inferiority "The High School Woman and Dating "High
School Sex(ist) Education" "The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm
We collected sheaves of free literature and wandered off to mill
the Liberationists
A MATTER OF CONDITIONING'
Individually, the Lib members made a few intelligent
observations. They were very young and very idealistic, most
spoke with a generous number of gestures and sweeping arm
motions. One member in particular seemed to possess more sanity
than the rest-Margie Segal, the previously-mentioned Chapel Hill
instructor. Miss Segal advocated a more personal liberation; her
reason for participating in the movement was to provide more
trcedom for women in the field of Political Science.
"I'm working for my department she said. This was a marked
contrast to those evangelists who stated that there was no "real"
difference between the sexeslfs all a matter of conditioning "
Another of the more realistic members stated the reasons for
the Women s Liberation movement
"As women she explained, "we can't say 'stop fightingwe
aren t drafted. We can't say 'help the Blackswe aren't all black.
Our only power lies in the fact that we're women We have to
work through that
ASK THE MEN'
A fairly typical incident occured shortly before the second half
ol the conference. The Fayettev.lle Lib members had been taping
parts ol the meeting on a portable tape recorder. Suddenly one of
the girls ran across the room to the group's unofficial
spokeswoman. r
The girl was upset. "The tape ran out she said "What ate we
supposed to do?"
The spokeswoman dropped the pde of pamphlets she was
stacking on a nearby table
"As much as I hate to say it she said, "the only people he,e
Who know how ,o work the damn thing are the men Go ask
