To the Editor:
After sitting here in my room for the last hour, clearly overhearing a conversation between my neighbor and one of his female friends (through the "sound-proof" Topliff walls), I decided that I can stand it no longer.
Dartmouth women: Stop asking questions when you talk! It is especially apparent when you are talking to men. I cannot deny that I am guilty of the same crime myself but we must make a conscious effort to end statements with the type of intonation that is called for by the punctuation! Voice your opinions as if they have periods (or exclamation marks!) at the end of them!
For much too long we women have been raising our voices at the end of every phrase we utter so that we do not appear too assertive ... or (god forbid!) too "feminist."
What's truly wrong with being either?? (ok, I admit, I did raise my voice just then ... but only because it was called for!!!)
Say it like you mean it! No more of this wishy-washy submissive nonsense.
