An email from WREN Frobisher...
I just love the description of this incident from when Gene was a young man:
At Oxford University I joined a feminist group. You get the picture: strident harridans, lesbians in paratrooper boots, all sorts of weirdos and men-haters.
To my shame I also campaigned with them on pro-abortion rallies. I remember one incident from this time that had a profound impact on me.
One Saturday afternoon I set out on a pro-abortion March through Oxford. At the front of the march we had a banner reading: A WOMAN’S RIGHT TO CHOOSE. At one point on our march we were confronted by a young man – about nineteen/twenty – who heckled:
‘You bitches. No one has the right to choose murder’.
One of the leaders of our march, a strident harridan with acne and halitosis, started to remonstrate with him. He flung a carton of strawberry yoghurt right into her face. Splat! How she yelled! A right melee ensued, but the young man disappeared before the police arrived. I remember thinking he was a handsome young man and his face somehow reminded me of Saint Padre Pio – not that Padre Pio was a saint in those days.
That incident propelled me away from all the radical feminism and pro-abortion evil.
Best wishes,
Wren Frobisher
