There is a long way to go before women are treated as full human beings at Harvard The fact that the administration has not openly and clearly denounced the actions of the club, or the fact that some women went to the recent Pi Eta party despite the newsletter, does not mean that the problem is relatively minor or the concern of only a few feminists What it does mean is that sexism is deeply ingrained within and around all of us, and we are all affected by it Women internalize society's low estimation of them, or are threatened...

They would meet some of the most courteous and considerate men at Harvard Just as the stereotype of the protesters...
