I like the Beetle Bailey comic strip, and would hate to see Ms Buxley go :
and while on the topic of sexism, I'd like to say that I, personally, think
that a lot of people spend a lot of time flaming at stuff like sexism in
comic strips (for heaven's sake! Is Beetle Bailey the ultimate reality ? Is
that an accurate portrayal of the men in the US Armed Forces ?), the smoke
they create mostly serves to hide issues that REALLY need to be looked at.
Does anyone REALLY think that eliminating Miss Buxley from Beetle Bailey
will lead to any change in attitudes to women ?
