I'm a woman, born and raised in AK. I support this letter. My goodness, there are a lot of men who commented on this post that have some serious issues when it comes to a strong Alaskan woman. Their attacks are not about the content of the letter, rather they focus on the gender of the authors. The vast majority of born and raised AK men I know are strong supporters of women's rights. Gotta wonder where these guys are really from - Texas?
