“Men are the enemy”

Sir, — Perhaps Leone Stewart should read more books by feminist authors and allow the books to “shout at her.” She would then realise that her descriptions of Marilyn French: “her sensuous mouth,” “thick springy hair lighty streaked with grey,” “small verging on the plump,” are the sort of trivial comments that are inappropriate to a discussion of .Ms French’s ideas and books. Feminists rightly object to the frequent descriptions of a woman’s sexual attributes which invariably denigrates the actual achievements that are being reported. When did we last hear of the sensual qualities of male Nobel Prize winners? —Yours, etc., SUE. CHRISTIE. June 5, 1980. [There is nothing unusual in an interviewer describing how a person appears to the interviewer at the same time as . the person’s views and background are given — Editor]
