Letters to the Editor - May 1993

by
May 1993, no. 150

Dear Editor,

I was encouraged and shamed by your account of Mabel Edmund’s comments about violence against women. You are so right, even if you understate it a bit, in saying ‘if we don’t get the gender stuff right, then we’ll never get any of it right’. Bodo Kirchhoff’s smug sexist fantasy about finding a Filipina beauty in the monastery kitchen is important, because it says something not just about Kirchhoff but about all men. He is not Robinson Crusoe but Everyman.
