Twin piques

Alyssa Arthur

To the editor:

Rarely do I read an article that piques my interest. Even more rarely do I see an advertisement that does. The ad in Friday’s paper on page 14 did exactly that. I commend whoever took the time and money to take out the ad.

The space used was small but effective. It raised an important issue that all Iowa State students should be aware of.

Feminism is a topic that everyone, male and female, should be aware of. I thought that the ad easily got across the point that feminism is often a gray issue. Men and women are both greatly affected by typical feminist stereotypes.

It is clearly time Iowa State students become aware of the ever growing feminist ideals and the ad did exactly that. This is an infrequent occurrence of advertising that does not “make whores of us all” but that is rather enlightening.
