Fighting Sexism an Unnecessary Sacrifice
By Pamm Quinn | November 17, 1994I am writing in order to support Danielle Moore '95's decision to resign as Student Assembly president, as well as to say something to those who have attacked her for doing so. Over the past 24 hours what I have heard most about her decision are loud proclamations from men that if Moore was not respected as a leader, it was not because she was a woman, but because she was a bad leader. I am not a part of the Assembly, nor do I know anyone involved in this organization, but as a woman and a student leader on campus, I have encountered both subtle and overt sexism and complete disrespect since the day I arrived on this campus. Making the problem worse are the men (most of the male students at Dartmouth I would say) who react violently to such a claim and refuse to listen to anything that Moore, or any woman making a similar complaint, has to say. Though I know that it will do no good, I demand that each and every man on this campus examine his behavior and ask himself whether he really has treated every woman with whom he has come into contact with the respect she deserves. For example, have you never made sexist comments, used sexist terms or cracked sexist jokes?
