When 1 responded with a "yes", he declared: "You don't live in poverty, you, had, a good childhood, you have a good education, and you have a partner who doesn't abuse you and who lets' you do what you want." He was'confused. Why would I consider myself a 'feministe when -I was among -those privileged womnen who had it ail'? First, I do flot like being 'labelled' anytliing. Labelling confines the many parts of a person into one simplistic parcel. t gives others permission to see you in one light, and ignore the m any other lights which shine upon your talents and 'being'. Labelling also limits us in our search of the many possibilities of life as we try to understand andi 'bewho it is that we are. -You know the old stoy... tell a child he is stupid, and he will be stupid. Tell a child that he is bright ...and.. . fun.. and ... many other things, and the world will be many things to him . . . flot a narrow, shallow pool of discontent and confusion. As for the label 'feminist'. It's like any other label. t has different meanings for different people. The'feminists of my youth were, we whispered, "bra burners" (yet few bras actually were bumnet ... they were just shoved to the back corners of women's wardrobes). Sometimes I hear individuals (flot only men) refer to 'feminists' as 'those loud-mouthed, domineering, man-haters'. Nothing could be further from the truth! The New American Webster College Dictionary (1981) defines feminism as: "advocacy of increased political activity or rights for women". Simple. And, it does flot infer that only the oppressed need to advocate political activity or rights for. women. In fact, 1 told my brother, it is those of us who have the right to vote, who do flot suffer from oppression and violence, whose children can sleep safely at night, and who have equal and fair. access to education, jobs and positions of power, wbich have an obligation to support the advocacy work of, those women seeking equal privilege. Women in developing t-77,7472,O countries, women of colour, young women, poor women and children, leshians, women suffering under conditions of war and domestic violence ... women who lack any of those rights which I consider fundamental to living, need the support of their sisters who have them. "Wouldn't you support your own sisters, if they needed help te achieve polîtical and social empowerme'nt?", I asked Joe.- "Why, then, flot your 'global' sisters"? That is why, in the literaI sense, I consider myself a 'feminist'. In the worldview sense . . . I arn simply a human being striving for fairness, peace and harmony for al of us. Isn't this something we agree upon? So, Joe ... I guess that based on the dictionary definition privileged you' might consider yourself a 'feminist' --- at the very 1l1east, a feminist supporter. Welcome to the ranks! And 1 promise . .. we won't make you bumn any bras! Groundhog Fricassee Groundhog Sait Flour Sage p Bacon Grease Cayenne 1 cup chopped Onion 1 cup boiling Water 1 crusheti Bay Leaf Pepper First: ail Groundhog should be miarinated prior to cooking. It remnoves the last traces of what some people refer to as "that outdoorsy taste'. Mix one quart of dry red wine with one quart of cool water (bottled Kendal Springs if you wish to really gourmet). Add haîf a dozen cracked peppercorns, haîf a tablespoon of sait and just a dash or two of powdered basil. Soak the meat for-six hours, tumning the carcass every now and then. Wipe the meat dry before cooking or it will not sear properly. Cut meat into serving sizes. Mix 5 tablespoons flour and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and rub it into the meat. ' eat the bacon grease ini a deep frying pan and put the meat in to brown. Once this is accomplished, add the chopped onion and let it brown, too. Now add 1 cup boiling water, scrape the sides and bottom of the pan and stir up the juices. Pour a littie more water over the meat to moisten it, then sprinkle on the powdered bay leaf, a pinch of powdered sage and 1 tablespoon sait. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 45 minutes (longer if the groundhog was a big one). Do flot add more water unless the pan gets very dry. When finished, you should have some lovely-looking brown groundhog meat swimnming in a thick gmavy-like sauce. Guaranteed to change your mind about groundhogs if anything will.
