   According to Cheryl, Swidler "presupposes that the primary function
of woman is to be attractive to a man. . . ."

   However, Cheryl herself makes the same mistake of presupposing that
attractiveness in a woman is a quality that somehow only appeals to
men.

   It seems to me that these two assumptions are different sides of the
same coin.  I thought Ripley was a wonderfully attractive heroine.

   Cheryl, to a male oppressor" you, me, sorority girls, nurses, waitresses,
and all the other women you dump on, are one and the same.  Until you
develop some understanding and compassion for your sisters, you should
stop your "feminist" posturing.  We get enough garbage from men without
you jumping on us, too.
