LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Women’s group should apologize

The small self-described group of feminists were quick and vocal earlier this year to claim sexism

To the editor,

Re: Petition perceives sexist statements by Nanaimo city councillor, April 19.

Where is the group you wrote of, Women Watching Nanaimo, now that a video has surfaced showing former councillor Wendy Pratt lilterally striking out at the city manager?

It is relevant to note now, the small self-described group of feminists were quick and vocal earlier this year to claim “sexism, a weird, misogynistic culture” at city hall forced Pratt to quit. But now with a video showing a woman allegedly assaulting another woman, where are they?

Women Watching Nanaimo and their friends must condemn the violence and publicly apologize for the politically motivated one-sided behaviour they showed.
