You might try BPW (National Federation of Business
and Professional Women)...
You might contact Electra Alessio....Owner/Editor
of the CARRIAGE TOWNE NEWS for advice on where/how
to hang him...
You might try the NH Commission on the Status of
Women...(Concord)
You might try contacting the advertisers in his newpaper
by mailing them the offending letter and several
pointed pieces of literature about women's
rights....hurt him in pocketbook since noone is home
in his mind....ask them if they really want to advertise
their goods (which are probably bought by 85% women)
in a newpaper that says such stuff...

Well, at least you have the satisfaction of having seen him make
an idiot of himself in public. (Perhaps he's secretly sympathetic
to your movement and took the opportunity to discredit the opposition.)
I'm not sure you need to do anything at all. Unless your town is
full of similarly-thinking jerks, he's seriously embarassed himself.

| 547.3 | Try Rockingham NOW | PROSE::BLACHEK | | Wed Apr 19 1989 14:50 | 18 |
| This sounds like something that the National Organization for Women
would be willing to take on.
The Rockingham chapter president is:
Charlotte Lister
37 Fremont Rd.
Chester, NH
887-4185
They may be willing to organize a boycott of the paper, or a button
campaign, or a picketing, or whatever.
If you don't hear from Charlotte, send me mail and I'll discuss
it with the state NOW president. (I'm the treasurer for NH NOW.)

This might do more harm than good. A full-scale, organized campaign
would give more weight to his words than they deserve. (It could
also serve to make women look like stereotypical humorless, men-hating
bitches; no point in giving him further grist for his mill.)

| 547.5 | probably a stupid idea, huh? | ANT::JLUDGATE | Wigan | Sat Apr 22 1989 14:26 | 14 |
| any chance to invite the guy out to lunch and just try to talk to
him like a human being?
i'm not saying that this will be true, but maybe, just MAYBE, he
gets paid to write controversial articles to boost the circulation
of the publication.
and if that isn't true, and you see that he is as bad in person
as he is on paper, then you will have the satisfaction of being
able to look down at anything that he writes, knowing that you made
the effort, and that he rejected any attempts to be made a human.

| Thank you all for your responses and your direction.
For those of you who requested copies, I am getting more to
send out.
You will be interested to know that I am being interviewed by
a reporter from the larger newspaper in this area that has
extensive circulation. She shares my outrage and wants to do
an article. The interview takes place tomorrow - wish me luck!
