State Senate candidate and noted local photographer Liz Glasgow are among the influential East End women to be selected as new board members for the East End Women’s Network, a group of civic-minded women that has helped promote women in business, industry, labor, government, the arts, education and public service since 1981.
The new members were sworn in at a meeting at Giorgio’s in Baiting Hollow last Wednesday, where Patch was the featured business. North Fork Patch editor spoke about the evolution of Patch and the benefits of using the website for business people.
Finally, two female high school seniors were awarded scholarships based upon essays they wrote about why it’s important for women to support one another. First place winner Zoe Vayer of won $1,000 for her essay about her mother.
“She has taught by example and shown me how to be an independent woman,” she wrote. “My mother has shown me how to act with kindness and selflessness. She has played a key role in making me who I am today and I look up to her as a human being and as a female role model.”
Zoe also wrote that women must support each other because the fight against gender stereotypes is “rooted in centuries of gender profiling.”
“Women’s greatest obstacle is overcoming male expectations and biases,” she wrote. “Men expect women to fill certain roles and to behave in certain ways. Women ought to have the same opportunities as men in the work place and household. Women should not be expected to do dishes, expected to wash clothes. A woman should just as well be able to grill a steak or play football. The argument is not whether women are physically or emotionally equal to men. The key is opportunity.”
Second place winner Stephanie Puwalski of Eastport South Manor won $500 for her essay that also addressed the theme of the ongoing struggle for gender equality.
“Oftentimes, women are criticized if they do something wrong because they are usually expected to do and say things in a certain way,” she wrote. “Then again women could just be criticized because of a man’s fear that if a woman stops acting with support and encouragement, there will be an outbreak of chaos. For the love and inspiration a woman offers is an intrinsic aspect of today’s world.”

Masculinists have no gender biased role model issues and fear no role model gender biased issues nor do we as masculinist's make expectation or demands of women for we as masculinist's have a brotherhood of role models who choose to live by good virtue by only meeting to our own expectations and demands of ourselves without the desire or need to make expectations or demands of others whether they be of opposite genders or alike genders... Evidently the expectations and demands come from those who enter a relationship without mutual respect and appreciation... and as such are not considered excellent role models whether either of them are male or female! Masculinists support the ending of gender biased hypocrisy and the passive aggressive nature of misandric stereotyping of males!
The only true statement in this article is that women don’t have equal opportunity compared to men; they have superior opportunity, with the affirmative action and the systematic discrimination against men and boys in schools, colleges, universities, funding, and employment. It’s the dishonest doctrine of feminism that encourages this type of intellectual masturbation; let me be the first one to shout “THE EMPEROR IS NAKED” and I hope that more and more men and women will step forward and challenge the shaming tactics of feminism and shout with me.
Empowered by Feminist dogma卐
some people will lie and destroy a nation for few dollars,I am unlike you not one of them,keep on pastoring the poisonous message of hatred,since this is the only thing that you can do.
@Peter Papineau Do you really expect us to believe that you are not the same person posting under two names? Really? The only two guys on the board posting with little HTML characters. Honestly now... lame.
Poisoning the minds of young girls is a crime that only cowards like you can commit, seeding their hearts with hatred and awarding them for unsubstantiated claims that only contributes to their misery, Add to that the misery that you are inflecting on the “privileged” boys and young men, who are dropping in ever high rates from school, due to your sexism, is the lowest form of cowardice, but you are such a shameless person! you are destroying the lives of boys and poisoning the minds of girls to fight a war against their naturel partners, all of that to get few dollars from the government, you should be ashamed of yourself ;it’s only your lack of dignity that is preventing you from getting the full impact of this comment.

Show me one example of where women are oppressed by men in the USA today? Where women don't have the same opportunities? What an anti-male, victim-teaching program this is. Radical feminism at it's best. Or worst I should say.
