7414<\/b> Seducing By Scents \u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
Legislation proposed in England in the 1700\u2019s: \u201cAll women of whatever age, rank, profession, or degree, whether virgin, maid or widow, that shall impose upon, seduce and betray into matrimony any of His Majesty\u2019s subjects, by scents, paints, cosmetic washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops, high-heeled shoes or bolstered hips shall incur the penalty of the law now in force against witchcraft and the like misdemeanors and that marriage, upon conviction, shall stand null and void.\u201d<\/p>\n

7415<\/b> Typewriter And Typists<\/b><\/p>\n
The word \u201ctypewriter\u201d originally referred not to the machine itself but to the young lady who operated it. <\/p>\n
The first functional typewriter was not patented until 1868. This early machine was mounted on a sewing machine stand with a foot pedal. Pressure applied on the pedal moved the carriage to the right and rolled the platen upward to space the lines. <\/p>\n
There was quite an uproar when it was suggested that women could operate this complicated contraption. A six-month course was developed to train the girls to be \u201ctypewriters.\u201d But to prove the skeptics wrong, 8 young ladies\u2014the first secretaries\u2014graduated without suffering from any ill effects that could have been acquired while operating such a heavy contraption. Thus the field became open to respectable girls who wanted to earn a living. From then on, the secretarial course became a field dominated by women. <\/p>\n
7416<\/b> \u201cMixing Of Sexes\u201d In Public<\/b><\/p>\n
In 1854, three young women employed as copyists in the U.S. Patent Office were threatened with loss of their jobs. The Commissioner of Patent wrote the Secretary of the Interior, Robert McClelland, on behalf of one copyist and received this response:<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is every disposition on my part to do anything for the lady in question except to retain her or any of the other females who work in the Patent Office. I have no objection to the employment of females in duties they are competent to discharge, but there is such obvious impropriety in the mixing of the sexes within the walls of public office that I have determined to arrest the practice.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u201clady in question\u201d later distinguished herself in exclusively male territory: the Civil War Battlefields. Clara Barton then went on to found the American Red Cross. <\/p>\n

7417<\/b> Changing Women\u2019s Minds<\/b><\/p>\n
In 1920 the state of Kansas was swung into line on the suffrage amendment as the result of an open debate, in which a suffragette merely uttered a single sentence. When the opposition argued, \u201cWomen could not be relied upon to exercise good judgment in voting, they change their minds too often,\u201d a young woman carried the day by shouting, \u201cI would like to ask my honorable opponent if he ever tried to change a woman\u2019s mind once it was made up?\u201d<\/p>\n
7418<\/b> When Napoleon Got A Reply<\/b><\/p>\n
When Napoleon told Madame de Stael that women had no business being interested in politics, she replied, \u201cIn a country where women have been decapitated, it is only natural for other women to ask \u201cWhy?\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n
7419<\/b> Chinese Feet-Binding<\/b><\/p>\n
The practice of binding the feet of Chinese women existed more than a thousand years. The ancient Chinese considered small and lotus-shaped feet the acme of beauty. Parents realized that girls with normal feet would be hard to marry off. <\/p>\n
The deforming process was begun when the children were between two and six years old. It is difficult to describe the appearance of these poor feet. Tight bandages raised the arches upward like a tent and shortened the feet. The big toe was turned outward and other four toes were bent under the soles. When the mutilation was complete the heels and four smaller toes bore the weight of the body. <\/p>\n
Thus, the gait had no resilience or spring and the women walked with a stamping gait like wearing wooden stilts. It was almost impossible to go up and down stairs, walk on a slope, or run. <\/p>\n
7420<\/b> First Woman Driver<\/b><\/p>\n
The first woman driver in the United States was Mrs. Eva Mudge Nelson who drove a Waverly Electric in New York City in 1898. The following year she began driving in races. <\/p>\n
7421<\/b> Grandma Kills Time by Flying<\/b><\/p>\n
Cairo (AP)\u2014An 84-year-old American woman who flew solo across the Atlantic on an around-the-world trip, landed here saying she was \u201cexhausted but very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wearing a colorful midi dress, Marion Rice Hart, dubbed \u201cThe Flying Grandmother\u201d nonchalantly hopped off her single-engined plane to a warm welcome by friends and told them she was hungry and sleepy. <\/p>\n
Mrs. Hart, a slender, short woman who told an interviewer that \u201cflying alone helps me kill time,\u201d said she had started her trip in Washington a couple of months ago and has since been to Iceland, England, France, Italy, and Greece. <\/p>\n
She is scheduled to stop over in Saudi Arabia and Persian Gulf countries where women are not allowed to drive cars. <\/p>\n
7422<\/b> Japan\u2019s Crusading Wives<\/b><\/p>\n
Tokyo (UPI)\u2014Watch out for Misako Enoki if you are married and having an affair with another woman. <\/p>\n
Enoki-san is a \u201cdreadful fighter\u201d of Japanese married men keeping mistresses outside their home and a powerful supporter of housewives suffering from their husband\u2019s extramarital activities. <\/p>\n
The tall and slender 30-year-old housewife has become a nationally prominent feminist activist, author of a book calling for open sale of the pill and leader of a women\u2019s group advocating equality for the fair sex. <\/p>\n
Wearing a pink helmet and carrying a placard, she has led women activists in demonstration and invaded office buildings and conference halls for confrontation with men she believed were having an affair with persons other than their wives. <\/p>\n
\u201cBe aware of Enoki-san\u201d is a remark often whispered by men in companies and bars. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we go into the room, all men from the division chief on down become pale,\u201d she said. \u201cThey say, \u201cgive us the name of a person you want to see,\u201d and when they find they aren\u2019t the one we are looking for they become relaxed. They all must have guilty consciousness.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe feel sorry for them but we have no choice but attack the men (suspected of being engaged in extra-marital affairs) for the sake of the rights of women.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mrs. Enoki said her organization has 1,200 members and 500 of them are regarded as members of the group\u2019s \u201cAction Corps.\u201d They are ready to take to the streets at any time. <\/p>\n
She said her husband, a physician, is a \u201cvery understandable person.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am no good at cooking and washing,\u201d she said, \u201cbut my husband doesn\u2019t say anything. I appreciate that.\u201d<\/p>\n
7423<\/b> Women In Uniform<\/b><\/p>\n
The number of women in uniform in the US armed forces has increased from 45,000 in 1972 to 112,040 in 1976. Women now comprise 5% of military personnel. <\/p>\n
In 1975, the nation\u2019s service academies accepted their first women students for officer training. And in 1976, the minimum 18-year-old enlistment for women was lowered to 17\u2014the same as that for men. <\/p>\n

The council has voted 12\u20130 to strike the word \u201cman\u201d from all municipal worker job titles, such as \u201ccouncilman,\u201d \u201cforeman,\u201d \u201cfireman\u201d and \u201ckennelman.\u201d The purpose is to avoid discouraging women from applying for the jobs. <\/p>\n
7427<\/b> Rulings On Ad Wordings<\/b><\/p>\n
Under the new ruling laid down by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, employers can be penalized if they advertise under the heading \u201cHelp Wanted\u2014Male\u201d in situations where women are also qualified. <\/p>\n
In the Little Rock Arkansas Gazette<\/i> an employment agency listed a number of openings. Halfway down the list was this note: \u201cUnless the government rules otherwise, people for the following jobs should use the Men\u2019s restroom.\u201d<\/p>\n
One rancher meets the equal-opportunity rule by advertising for a \u201ccow person.\u201d He specifies the applicant must be \u201cproficient in profanity to avoid inferiority complex in the presence of experts, must share bunk-house with three cowboys who seldom bathe.\u201d<\/p>\n

7429<\/b> Noodle Company Gets Protest<\/b><\/p>\n
Tokyo (AP)\u2014A woman says, \u201cI am the one who makes it.\u201d A man says, \u201cI am the one who eats it.\u201d And feminists groups say \u201cdiscrimination\u201d\u2014in the case of this television commercial for instant noodles. <\/p>\n
The groups filed a protest with the noodle company, saying they may organize a boycott because the commercial gives the impression that cooking is a women\u2019s job. <\/p>\n
Officials of the groups said they also are studying discrimination in a number of other commercials. <\/p>\n
7430<\/b> Only \u201cMs\u201d In Passport<\/b><\/p>\n
London (Reuter)\u2014Fifty women marched on the British passport office to protest against being known as \u201cMrs\u201d or \u201cMiss.\u201d<\/p>\n
They want their passports to carry \u201cMs\u201d as the term of address. <\/p>\n
7431<\/b> A Leer For Ms. <\/b><\/p>\n
Since Women\u2019s Liberation introduced \u201cMs.\u201d as substitute for Miss or Mrs. the prefix (pronounced Miz) has been working its way steadily into the American vocabulary. There is, of course, institutional resistance. In California, for example, Sacramento County Clerk William Durley reports he has had to reject at least 20 voter registration applications because women have insisted on using Ms. instead of giving their marital-status designation as state law requires. <\/p>\n
Now two bills have been introduced in the state legislature to allow the liberated Ms. designation, or none at all, when women desire to register that way. Some federal agencies and congressmen\u2019s offices now routinely address their correspondence to \u201cMs\u201d in reply to letters signed that way. <\/p>\n

7433<\/b> Beauty Contest For Men<\/b><\/p>\n
Salt Lake city, Utah (UPI)\u2014A thousand coeds stomped, cheered, hissed and booed at male contestants parading in bathing suits during the University of Utah\u2019s \u201c1975 Boy America\u201d beauty contest. <\/p>\n
The girls ogled at rippling biceps and yelled insulting, sometimes crude remarks, about protruding stomachs, backsides and unshaved underarms. The men contestants were instructed to behave as they believed women would in a beauty contest. <\/p>\n
It was supposedly all in the interest of mental health! <\/p>\n
7434<\/b> Kiss-And-Run Terrorist<\/b><\/p>\n
Boston had a feminine mash mystery. A woman kiss-and-run terrorist deeply scandalized the city of Puritans. It used to be a crime in Boston for a man to kiss his wife in public, but now it was a case of man being forcibly kissed, not by their wives but by a ruthless, seductive Amazon. She seized a shrieking male in her powerful arms, imprinted a kiss of brutal violence on his chaste and modest lips, and then fled. <\/p>\n
The first word of the kissing woman prowler came when a big, burly Bostonian rushed into a police station and shouted: \u201cCan\u2019t a decent man go about the streets without being attacked by a ruffian woman?\u201d He told how he was walking along, sedate and demure, when a woman rushed up to him, seized him, pinned his arms to his sides, and kissed him repeatedly. Then, before he could call for help she had darted away. <\/p>\n
No wonder the men of Boston were terrified. The honor of manhood was threatened by a wild woman. So the men were calling upon stalwart American womanhood, pleading: \u201cThink of your brothers, your sons, your husbands, protect them!\u201d<\/p>\n
7435<\/b> Against Rape In Marriage<\/b><\/p>\n
The Australian state of South Australia has become the first area in the world to legislate against rape within marriage. <\/p>\n
After a delay of some time in the upper house of the South Australian parliament the South Australian Labor Premier, Don Dunstan has announced that the new bill will be declared law. <\/p>\n
Among other things the new South Australian law provides that the victim of the sexual offenses will not be required to appear at the hearing, unless the judge decides that there are special circumstances. <\/p>\n
\u201cFor the first time in Australia and we believe in the world women have been recognized as full and equal partners within marriage and the women\u2019s right of consent to sexual intercourse in marriage has been recognized. Now the law will protect every woman equally against rape whether married or not.\u201d<\/p>\n
7436<\/b> On Job Titles<\/b><\/p>\n
The occupational title \u201cclergyman\u201d is one of fifty-two \u201csex-stereotyped job titles\u201d that is being eliminated by the U.S. Census Bureau from its classification system. From now on, the job title will be simply \u201cclergy.\u201d<\/p>\n
7437<\/b> Non-Sexist Bible<\/b><\/p>\n
Durham, N. C. (AP)\u2014Some Christians are taking the \u201chim\u201d out of the hymnals. <\/p>\n
They say if humans were \u201cin the image and likeness of God,\u201d then God must be both masculine and feminine. <\/p>\n
Under the Rev. Mr. Young\u2019s guidance, a group of male and female Duke students are rewriting not only hymns and prayers but passages of scripture. Ultimately, an entire \u201cnon-sexist\u201d Bible may develop. <\/p>\n
For instance, in a translation, John 15:13 reads: \u201cGreater love hath no man than this that a man should lay down his life for his friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Duke group has converted that passage to: \u201cGreater love has no one than this that one should lay down one\u2019s life for a friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the main, he said, the Duke group has been substituting \u201cGod\u201d for the pronoun \u201chim\u201d whenever possible and, in some instances, praying, \u201cOh God, our Father-Mother.\u201d<\/p>\n
7438<\/b> More On Religious Sexism<\/b><\/p>\n
The phrase \u201cbrethren in Christ\u201d has been dropped by the United Church of Christ in its official language, replacing it with \u201ckindred in Christ.\u201d The effects of sexist language \u201care pernicious,\u201d stated a denominational task force on women. \u201cThey limit our minds and our conceptions of humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n
The report, approved by the two-million-member church\u2019s governing synod, called for widescale alterations in wording of educational literature, hymnbooks, worship materials, and other documents. \u201cMankind,\u201d for example, has been changed to \u201chumankind,\u201d \u201cChairman\u201d becomes \u201cchairperson.\u201d The pronoun \u201che,\u201d used generically to include everyone, becomes \u201che or she,\u201d \u201csons of God\u201d becomes \u201cchildren of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Bernice McNeela of the St. Joan\u2019s International Alliance, an international Catholic women\u2019s organization, protested to Catholic bishops about the traditional Scripture text read at all masses on Holy Family Sunday in December. The text in Colossians 3 includes Paul\u2019s admonition for wives to be in submission to their husbands. A liturgy booklet carried the explanatory note: \u201cPaul outlines ideal family relationships.\u201d The alliance says the reading is anti-feminist and unrealistic in modern times. A better selection would be the mutual love exhortations of First John 4, said Ms. McNeela. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pleased not for myself but for the fact the Senate has reached the point where they feel it is normal to invite a woman to do this,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Miss Rowland, 63, has been director for 11 years of educational loans and scholarships for the United Presbyterian Board of Christian Education in Philadelphia. <\/p>\n
A 1942 graduate from the Union Theological Seminary in New York, Miss Rowland did not become minister until 1957\u2014a year after the Presbyterian General Assembly changed its laws to permit ordination of women. She served at first as associate minister at Indian Hill Presbyterian Church, Cincinnati. <\/p>\n
The Rev. Edward L. R. Elson, Senate resident chaplain extended the invitation to say the prayer. <\/p>\n

\u201cWomen are anxious to exercise freedoms and permissiveness promoted by the women\u2019s movement, and the result is dissolution of marriages, homes, and families. In nearly two decades as a judge I\u2019ve heard more than 10,000 divorce, separation, and custody cases. And I\u2019ve seen moral decay, especially in family responsibilities, divorce, permissiveness, and shirking of duties. I blame women almost entirely for lowering the moral standards of this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Los Angeles (AP)\u2014The United States is on the verge of a \u201ccrime wave like the world had never seen before,\u201d warns Los Angeles police chief Edward M. Davis. And he says the women\u2019s liberation movement and politicians must share the blame. <\/p>\n
In an address to the Los Angeles Breakfast Club, Davis said crime \u201cis going to continue to go up, up, up,\u201d primarily because of \u201cthe new morality which condones lying, stealing and killing.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said more mothers should stay home to instill old-fashioned values in their children. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t have that culture in which to bring up that young human with love and discipline, he\u2019s going to become some sort of savage if he wants to,\u201d Davis said. <\/p>\n

7452<\/b> Women\u2019s Lib A Step Down<\/b><\/p>\n
A noted anthropologist thinks that men are inferior to women, and women lower themselves by demanding equality with men. <\/p>\n
Ashley Montagu, speaking at Virginia Commonwealth University, said a woman who claims equality with a man \u201chas taken a step down.\u201d<\/p>\n
Montagu said that \u201conly inferior people tell people they are superior, and this is what men have been doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said women discovered their superiority long ago and \u201chave the good sense to be quiet about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said women are more intellectual because of their everyday experiences, which differ from those of most men. <\/p>\n
He also said they are constitutionally superior because they bear and nurture children, and biologically superior because they have two X chromosomes. <\/p>\n

And where will the separatists hold services? At the Young Women\u2019s Christian Association in downtown Columbia, that\u2019s where. \u201cMaybe this is God\u2019s way of underscoring the fact that this is not an antifeminist movement,\u201d said Irvin D.

Leonard Lyons reports that one diehard professor at Oxford still chooses to ignore the fact that, because of the war, female students at the university far outnumber the males. He began all lectures to mixed classes, \u201cGentlemen.\u201d Even when there were forty girls and ten men, he stubbornly addressed them as \u201cGentlemen.\u201d This Spring he found that his class consisted of forty-six girls and one lone man. He gritted his teeth, sighed, and began his lecture, \u201cSir.\u201d<\/p>\n
7456<\/b> \u201cHead Of Household\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
Irritated by the 1971 Canadian census defining the husband as \u201cHead of the Household,\u201d I wrote in the space marked Householder Comments: \u201cIn this family my husband and I definitely share the household equally, and I wish to register my complaint at your archaic wording.\u201d<\/p>\n
Several days later, when I checked over the form before mailing it, I found to my chagrin that my husband had penned the following after my note: \u201cStatements made by the employees do not necessarily reflect the position of management,\u201d and signed it \u201cHead of the Household.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 These are difficult days for politicians. With the population explosion, they can\u2019t even declare themselves for motherhood without losing some votes. <\/p>\n

\u2022 This is not a man\u2019s world. When he is born they say, \u201cHow is the mother?\u201d When he is married, they say, \u201cIsn\u2019t she a lovely bride?\u201d When he dies, they say, \u201cHow much did he leave her?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2022 In Boston a youth went into the bookstore and asked the clerk, \u201cHave you a book called Man, The Master of Women?<\/i>\u201d The pretty salesgirl merely tossed her head and said, \u201cYou\u2019ll have to look for that in the Fiction Department.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u2014Benjamin P. Browne<\/p>\n
\u2022 At our local library, I overheard a man asking for a book entitled Man, the Superior Sex<\/i>. \u201cFiction,\u201d the girl at the desk told him frostily, \u201cis two aisles over.\u201d<\/p>\n
