Two Skinny Bitch books, for instance. Any of the books completely obsessed with (a) finding men, (b) looking beautiful (and only looking beautiful. Ditto all the books/columns/editorials out there gossiping or focusing on this female celebrity’s cellulite or face-lifts or whatever.

And you know how I feel about the women who write the kind of smut where our “hero” rapes the heroine or, in fact, women are effectively decoration and doormats.

There’s a great deal of all of this written. Blech!

If women would stop obsessing about each others’ looks, we would do a great deal to reduce perpetuating this stuff.

That doesn’t absolve what some men do, mind you, but I think we should encourage change on all fronts.

I was really privileged too, during my “feminist consciousness raising” when I was at Syracuse University, to know some great feminist men. And since then, virtually all my male friends are as feminist as I am. So I certainly never think that “all men” are the problem, and I love a great many very good men.

I agree about some women being part of the problem too. (I feel like I’m related to about half of them, ha!) Can you elaborate on the type of writing you’re thinking of?

My father was the most feminist person I’ve ever met. And, not to distract the conversation, I think women are a big part of the problem. Have you seen some of the crap they write for other women? Disgusting!

Georgette Heyer, Nora Roberts, Anne MacCaffrey, Sharon Lee, Dorothy Sayers, Jane Austen, Emily Bronte, Jennifer Roberson, Baroness Orczy. Well, those are the ones that leapt to mind.

I actually like some female manga artists as well.
