Since racism was implied in the letter to The Crimson and also in The Crimson article, as editor of WIN NEWS, I must state it is both racist and sexist to continue to hush up the facts. Do African children and women, because they are Black, suffer any less from these mutilations?

The healthy development of women as individuals and the healthy development of society as a cooperative community of equals will continue to be stunted so long...

First, women are objectified in order to sell products. Second, implicit in the Chanel ad is not only that women must use cosmetic products to be sexually appealing, but that they must also perform the appropriate acts. The lipstick perched between lip-sticked lips symbolically links the two ideas of sex appeal and of unequal sexual (and other) status. The cultural norm of female beauty allows...
