Most wete also undeniably ugly Had they been grotesque to begin, with 01 did they become grotesque after joining Women's Lib None ot us knew. At any tate, the Fayetteville organizers were losers.

"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. wives members recorded their progress A high school told a breathtaking take of passing Women's Lib under the desks in a school headed by "Hitler's Other "woman' literature mother " 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 hem.
