r THE WASHINGTON POST, SATURDAY, AUGUST 28,	1982  
BOSTONÛÓFor the past five years I have celebrated Aug. 26, the anniversary of the passage of womenÛªs suffrage, in my own kinky way. I have handed out awards to people for notable achievements in their fight against equality, harmony, peace and justice between the sexes.</br></br>Until now, I have called this the Annual Life IsnÛªt Fair Awards. This year, however, in commemoration of the defeat of the ERA, I have decided to rename this event. Henceforth, by popular demand, these coveted prizes will be known as the Equal Rites Awards. But enough of all this chatter when you are waiting breathlessly for the results.</br></br>The first award always goes, by protocol, to the president of the United States, a man who* believes in the E and the R but not the A. To him, for reasons too numerous to list, we send a hard-earned satin scarlet ÛÏAÛ for Affirmative re-Action.</br></br>But in all fairness, he must give up the Pig-male-ion of the Year Award, to be shared by those dozen state legislators in Florida, Illinois and North Carolina who defeated ERA, proving again that a majority does not always rule. To them, we send individual ballot boxes . . . empty.</br></br>The Knight in Shining Armor Prize for gallantry this year goes to another president, J. Terryl Bechtol of the Jaycees, who is purging his organization of the women members it had previously wooed. This award is inscribed with his chivalrous remark at a Jaycee meeting: ÛÏWould the woman please leave. I canÛªt teach leadership to a woman.Û
