        On  October  23,  1984  at  about  8:20  AM,  I  was
surprised  to  hear  a  KGO radio sportscaster state that he
believed that women should stay in the  kitchen  where  they
belonged   and   be   feeding   their  husbands  instead  of
complaining that there were no women in the Basketball  Hall
of  Fame.  (This  was  a  NOW  group  that  was  making  the
complaint.) He was very indignant that  these  women  should
even   consider   such  a  subject.   I  heard  the  regular
newscaster objecting, but he couldn't get a word in edgewise
while the sports caster was on the air.

        I  find  that  this  kind  of  sexist   bigotry   is
offensive.  How  about  you?  Send  me mail or post replies,
I'm collecting them all.
