The
Raging
Grannies
visited
our
college,
January
25th,
Thursday
afternoon,
not
to
protest
any
sexist
comments
and
cartoons
in
our
fair
Free
Press.
No,
they
were
invited
by
the
Status
of
Women
as
part
of
a
film
that
Laurie
Furlong
and
Pam
Rogers
have
been
putting
together
for
the
upcoming
Women's
Conference,
All
Women
Work
II,
being
held
here
at
the
college
March
30,
31st.
The
Prince
George
Raging
Grannies
are
a
chapter
of
the
national
Raging
Grannies.
They
are
a
group
of
senior
citizen
ladies
who,
tired
of
knitting
on
park
benches,
decided
to
change
their
image
and
realities.
They
are
concerned
citizens.
Dressed
in
outrageous
hats
and
old-fashioned
dresses,
the
Grannies
seek
to
do
all
they
can
about
environ-

Traditional
and
well-worn
tunes
gain
new
dimensions
when
the
Grannies
finish
re-writing
the
lyrics:
-
If
there's
one
thing
I
despise,
it's
pornography.
-
Peelers,
pornos,
magazines,
the
works.
-1
don't
see
how
any
man
could
enjoy
-
Some,
complete
stranger
exposing
her
worldly
goods
-
To
a
bunch
of
sex-crazed
drooling
animals,
-
With
one
thing
on
their
minds.
-
Where
do
they
get
their
morals,
one
might
ask?
-Enjoying
the
sexual
exploitation
of
women!

"The
grannies
are
angry,
you
bet,
you
bet!!
The
pulp
mills
are
smoking
and
people-are
choking,
The
grannies
are
angry,
you
bet,
you
bet!!"
The
Prince
George
group
formed
in
October
1989
and
now
have
seven
members.
They
have
'protested'
their
appearance
at
various
environmentally
focussed
meetings
around
town
and
Cable
10
is
making
a
video
about
them
that
will
be
aired
soon.
They
were
at
the
college
providing
final
comments
to
a
question
the
Status
of
Women
have
been
asking
women
in
the
Prince
George
region:
"What
is
the
most
important
issue
facing
working
women
as
we
enter
the
1990'
s?"
Their
opinions
and
other
women's
opinions
have
been
recorded
on
tape
which
will
be
available
for
viewing
at
the
All
Women
Work
II
Conference
the
Status
of
Women
is
hosting
at
the
college
in
March.
