and then the glory of the fight is gone and there is left-- NOTHING Women do not strive toward womanhood, they are in it for better or worse and it isn't by any means all the heaven that the male sees it to be in his imagination. The Femiphile hungrily waits for the occasion when he can put on his high heels, bra, girdle, etc, and "join the ladies", A woman enjoys the use of these items and the rest of feminine paraphernalia for what they can bring her in the daily competition of life, but she looks forward to arriving home and taking them all off and being free, com- fortable and relaxed. (And if you wore even ordinary high heels all day you'd be glad to get out of them too!) We look to skirts as a felief, a change, a sy bolic identific- ation with that which we admire and yearn for and so we wish to get into them as often as possible. A woman who wears them all the time looks forward to the relaxation and freedom (from a modesty point of view) of slacks. Just look at most any woman at home by herself, doing her work and expecting no one to call---what happened to that gla- mour, beauty and attractiveness that we FPs dream about? BROTHER! what a let down!

So, Girls, let us enjoy the fight and the conniving for opportunity, and the stolen fruits that we get every so often while realizing that it is the very fact that they are "stolen" that contributes so much to their sweet- ness. Let us also try to understand our motives in a broad way so that we can lessen the pains, disappoint- ments and frustrations that beset most of us..

Yours in FEMIPHILIA

NOTE I know that this has been a tediously long col- umn this time, but it was left out of both #5 and #6 so on the average it wasnt too bad. But it required length to elaborate the ideas presented. I'd like to think that they have hit a responsive chord in many of those who read the lines, but I invite comment and con- tribution both pro and con to be incorporated in #8 as a "DI-VIRGIN" Views section, (Peggie Addair's name for it)
