One thing that was peculiar,
among many others, in the
Fecent federal election, was
the shortage of female
power. Where was it?

Oh, yes, | know,
Thousands of women were
out working for their local
candidate, probably far
harder than their male
counterpoints, or their
reluctantly-dragged-along
husbands,

And, yes, 1 know the NDP
made a big bid for the
women's vote by demanding
all sorts of things for women
— which already exist, ex-
cept in the minds and busi-
hesses and hearts of the male
chauvinistic empire that still
rules this country.

Where was the women’s
movement? Where were the
women candidates? Where
was the surge of feminist
emotion and rhetoric that
could have swept the elec-
tion? Did you hear the faint
sound of a fizzle, as I did?

True, there was a scatier-
ing of women candidates,
mostly, except for the few
cabinet ministers, in ridings
where they didn’t have a
hope in Hades of winning.

But when it comes to
women in politics, this coun-
try is still in the boondocks,
and election results show it.

What's wrong with the
women on this continent?
They talk a lot, but when it
comes down to voting, they
cast either: with their hus-
bands, ‘Because 1 don't
know anything about poli-
tics,"" for Pierre Trudeau
because Margaret has
deserted him or against
Trudeau because she has
declared her independence;
for Joe Clark because he
seems a bit slow and "needs
a chance’? or against him
because he has jowls and no
sense of humour; for Ed
Broadbent because he seems
like a younger, or older,
brother who speaks out and
is cute, in a sort of homely
way.

Where in the holy world
are the incisive, emotional,
hard-thinking, — straight-
forward-looking women of
The Movement? They've
turned into a bunch of plain
old women, that’s where.

Man Power Dominates Election

CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, June 14, 1979

ve

where women are supposed
to cringe around in veils,
subservient, waiting for a
kick in the rear or another
impregnation by the macho
mate, we have had a prime
minister in Sri. Lanka

Bill Smiley

(Ceylon to you old-timers) |

and India, Both have been
lough, charming, ruthless, .

In the not-so-mysterious
Middle East, we had a tough
charming and ruthless Golda
Meir, who ran one of the
most. abrasive and, be-
leaguered countries in the
world — {srael — for a few
years, ay

Even the ultra-chauvinist
(male) Brits have elected
their first female prime
minister in history, and
there's evidence that she'll do
no worse, if no better, than
her male predecessors. Mag-
gie Thatcher.

Of course, the Brits
brought up on the idea of a
Nannie, respond well to a
female boss. Elizabeth the
First. was probably their
favorite monarch of alt time
— the Virgin Queeri. Victoria
established an era named
after her: morals, manners,
hang-ups. Elizabeth II is a
model of decorum, good
sense, and hard work, vastly
admired despite the attacks
of a few anti-monarchists.

Back to the point. Where
was Women's Lib when the
election campaign began?
Leaders of all parties were
males. At least as far as
plumbing goes.

Is Canada a pale shadow
of the U.S., where the
thought of a female president
would tum half a_ nation
white overnight? Surely not.
Then how explain the sound
of silence from les dames de
notre pays?

t just don't understand it.
We males are harped at, and
nagged at, and niggled at.
And when the women have
their big chance, what do
they do? They make coffee

It's another one of life’s greatest mysteries.

The moment your kids borrow something from you. . . it
is never the same again.

I have a phonograph that I’ve had for years. OK, so It
doesn't bounce the sound off of every wall, but | can hear
Andy Williams and Frank Sinatra on it well enough.

My kids used It at a party one night because It was
plugged into the living room wall and ever since then It

it was the same with my hair dryer. They borrowed it
and now It keeps blowing and drying even after the switch Is
turned off. As for my clothes, by the time they're returned,
most of them are not recognizable. The sweaters are
stretched, the colors faded, buttons and snaps have fallen
off, and they have developed perma-stains for which there is
no known cure. i

The car Is probably the worst. There is something
contagious about a teenage driver for which a car has no
antidote. The moment they climb inside and Insert the key,
the transmission goes into failure, tires turn bald, and the
battery with two years left on a three-year guarantee goas
dead. The gas tank turns to sponge, pointing the gauge-to E
when it hits the garage.

The list goes on and on. They return luggage with bent
frames that will never close again, let alone lock .. . cameras
which when focused make every subject look ilke a Rorschach
test. . . binoculars that will never again enjoy the protection
of lens caps.

You would think the theory would work In reverse, but it
doesn’t. A man in Highland Heights, Ohlo, recently asked to
borrow his daughter's baseball glove for a game with some
friends.

She threw him the glove and added, ‘'It's okay to use
unless It’s a hot, sweaty day. When it's hot and sweaty, the
- bubble gum which has been in the index finger for two years,

cuns down your finger and into your hand. If it bothers you, —

just pick at It with your teeth.”

‘Whatya wanta bet when he picked all the gum off and
the glove fell apart, his daughter sald, ‘You've rulned my
glove and now you'll have to buy me a new-one.”"

Kids put quite a price on their lifestyle.
