4 Opinion February 17, 1994 Western Carolinian Women Front and Center: If you've got to burp, let it rip, feel better Hayley Nicholas Associate Editor I have a question. Why is it that when a woman rips off a really good belch in public the general response is either indignant horror or repressed giggles of glee? I do know the answer. It is socially unacceptable for a lady to express herself in such a manner. My granny told me so. But what's the point of keeping all that gas bottled up inside your system? It's painful. Ifs stressful. It's maladaptive, and anyways the gas is going to find its way out one way or another. So what's wrong with allowing your body to conduct its natural processes naturally? Because such behavior is socially unacceptable. Ifs in league with blowing your nose in public, swinging your arms and taking strides suited to the length of your legs, blowing off steam by using profanity, letting your armpit hair grow or enjoying sex and your sexuality. Such actions, though entirely natural to humans, do not fall within the parameters our society sets for its definition of femaleness. From belches to sex, our sod- Carolinian gets credit To the Carolinian Staff I am writing to say that the paper has madeabigtumaround since lastyear, when the issues commonly resembled a bad edition of the National Examiner. Now the articles are well written, interesting and talk about relevant topics. The tabloid size is more attractive. The editioial wars are engaging as well. The sports write-ups have been excellent, especially this issue. Some box scores would be nice, though. It is definitely a 100% improvement overall. Keep up the good work. Steve Goenen ety defines and controls how women conduct and present themselves. To be considered ladies, women must behave in certain socially accetable— no, socially prescribed ways. We must do certain things to bring ourselves into line with how our society defines the term and concept of "woman." It's a cultural thing. In our culture, we strive to emulate an image presented to us by the media, our families, our friends and our educations. We diet. We starve ourselves. We wear heels. We abstain from belching. We assume a passive role and attitude in sex. We accept tedious, boring careers. In some traditional Islamic cultures, girls look forward to the genital mutilation that will affirm their womanhood. Women clothe themselves from head to toe so only their hands and faces show. Many never drive a car or hold a paying job, because such behavior is not within their society's definition of womanhood. It's the same social prescription of behavior. The problem with all of this is that much, if not all, of this behavior ascribed to women is maladaptive to physical and emotional well-being. Ifs a world-wide paradox that women are born with immune systems superior to those of men but that women experience higher rates of chronic illness and mental disorders. Is it any wonder? Our society's definition of femaleness is what's making women weaker and sicker. When you starve yourself, your immune system suffers. When you don't release gas, your gastro-intestinal tract undergoes undue strain. When you repress your passions, desires or libido, all that excess energy bounces around inside your system. Women's higher rate of morbidity due to entropy. When you introduce mot energy into a closed system, the tendenc towards disorder increases. Physical am mental illness abound. Solongassociety demands that womej bottle up and/or focus inward enormoui amounts of energy in order to conside themselves women, we aren't going to ge anywhere. The first step to ignoring the influenc of society's outdated definition is to listent your own body. Eatifyou'rehungry. Swin your arms. It enhances your breathinj Know your limits and potentialities. Pusl those limits, and fufill that potential. And the next time you've just finisha a fine meal and you feel that familiar rumbl in your tummy— let it rip! Ifs good foryou and ifs a good start towards participation.! redefining womanhood. Fish: An examination of life in the tank Brett Ferguson Staff Columnist We can learn a lot from fish. What am I talking about? My wife and I recently bought an aquarium and a few fish. We thought we were ready to take on the challenge of keeping aggressive fish. We knew that when the fish grew larger we would have to limit our aquarium to one or two species, but we thought, mistakenly, that many aggressive species would be compatible while still the same size. We originally bought eight fish, six aggressives and two catfish, which were noh-aggressive but not appealing targets to the aggressives. What we didn't consider was that the aggressives would attack each other. Two of the fish constantly preyed upon the others. They bit at the smaller fishes' fins until they killed one, and we decided to take them back (along with the dead one), because the store where they wereboughthad a three day guarantee. We thought that our troubles were over, but over the next cou pie of days we noticed that one of the other aggressives had taken the roleofthebully. Afterhehad killed allof the other fish (except thecatfish), we bought 16 new fish for the 20 gallon aquarium. We had learned our lesson. We bought peaceful communitv fish What did we do with the "killer" fish? We placed him in the small bowl we have. Now, did we give him the benefit of the best filter? No. Did we feel it cruel or unusual to keep the pretty plants and decorations in the peaceful community tank, while leaving the aggressive fish in a simple holding tank with no luxuries? No. He doesn't deserve any comfort. As far as I'm concerned, he has no rights. The irony of this all is that the aggressive fish in solitary confine ment is a "convict cichlid", as it turns ou one of the most ferocious fish in the world I still "police" the other aquarium and navi noticed a possible domestic problem an. ing. Our male black molly is startingtopic on our female black molly. For now he)u chases her. Maybe he just wants to rna«j But if his chasing turns into attacks, i place him into the bowl with the convict^ this cruel? No. All vicious, predatory mej bers of the community should be remc> «j to where the only prey they have is »\ other. They deserve whatever theyg They gave up their right to be pro when ti\ey forced the protection of others I don't have the space to translate my sW but in my opinion, if you don t unaer then you most assuredly have a career ing for you with the Democratic Nat.
