    Typically, as was the case in my high school, many jocks form a heirarchy – at which they are at the top – in the ‘student food chain.’ Yet so few people get to be part of the top rungs of that ladder that others fall to the chastisement of those who are. I was in theater in high school, a successful student and had many friends. I still, however, faced the term ‘drama queer’ by the jocks at my school. We were still looked upon as outsiders and made to feel outed in every situation. This reflects how we deal with others different from us in society. It acts as a microcosm for those to feel oppression at the bottom and an inivisible microcosm for those at the top.

    Not all women feel that way. In fact, many do not and the fact that you attempt to treat women equally in that respect is applaudable. This woman has probably led a fairly sheltered life where she does not understand the importance of gender equality. Pay no creedence to her remarks. It bothers me when women do not understand that what they call ‘women’s lib’ is actually a structure in the process of being built to protect women from the discrimination that has haunted us for such a very long time. Please, understand, this woman needs a lesson in the women who gave their souls and lives to the cause and those who continue to do so.
