why was she singled out? As a
legislator, she's seen "colleagues
in physical altercations, where
sergeants have had to pull one off
the other. And they weren't banned
from speaking."
Last year, she said Rep. Rick
Olson (R-Saline) used the phrase,
"testicular fortitude" in his com-
ments about an education bill: "No
one blinked an eye."
Brown was annoyed to read that
Rep. Wayne Schmidt (R-Traverse
City) called the ban on her "like
putting a child in a timeout." She
exclaimed, "Really?! I'm 45 years
old — that comment shows disre-
spect for women."
Rep. Mike Callton (R-Nashville),
a friendly Jewish House colleague,
disappointed Brown by saying
"vagina is such a disturbing word;
he would never deign to use it in
the presence of women or 'mixed
company"'
"This is from a man who earned
a bachelor's degree in biology:' she
said.
Although Brown feels let down
by some, many media outlets are
defending her cause. The rally-
goers definitely had her back.
Sharon Baseman of Huntington
Woods went "in solidarity with
women everywhere. I think the
[state] legislature is getting way
out of control, and we've got to put
our foot down."
"The rally was about women's
fundamental rights and the belief
that women should be treated as
equal participants in our democ-
racy:' said Rabbi Amy Bigman,
spiritual leader of Congregation
Shaarey Zedek in East Lansing.
Susan Greenfield's husband,
Dr. Lawrence Abramson, recom-
mended they attend from West
Bloomfield.
"It was a great turnout:'
Greenfield said, "but it won't mean
anything unless people follow
through and vote for candidates
who share our concern about the
insidious abrogation of women's
rights that is occurring all over the
country"
The national Progressive Change
Campaign Committee is circu-
lating a petition demanding an
apology from Michigan House
Republicans for banning Brown
from speaking on the House floor.
Still smarting from the rebuke,
Brown, who is running for
Oakland County treasurer in
November, said women legislators
"should not have to walk on egg-
shells. What era is this?"
