Menstrual Extraction

As you know, NZUSA has decided to with draw its sponsorship of the Lorraine Rothman visit due to the apparent misgivings of certain males led by Peter Wilson. I have seen no explan ation of why these people including Mr Wilson thought that the tour was not worth supporting any longer. It has the support of all the female representatives on NZUSA plus feminist groups throughout the constituent universities of NZUSA apparently though this is not sufficient. Many feminists share the same political view's as Mr Wilson that is, are socialists and some like myself, consider themselves Maoists as at the moment China has policies which recognise the rights of women to a much greater extent than most other countries be they socialist or imperialist/capital ist. Apparently this same recognition of women's rights is not evident by many Maoists in New' Zealand. As usual women in the New Zealand Left have to suffer from the reactionary views of males on women's issues. One would have not expected better from the RSA but surely the NZUSA would be slightly less reactionary.
