LEITH GRAYDON, LOLUAMA AVIA, LOUISE TABRUM,
Field workers, Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Aid Group. November 2, 1984.
Sir,—Mrs Roberts is quite correct to describe herself as standing with the Puritans (October 31). Bears were forced into bear-baiting, unlike women who freely enter beauty contests, but Mrs Roberts insists that she knows better than these other women do what is for the public good. Recent surveys show beauty contests to be more popular with women than men, and to be watched by over half the female population. Yet the audience of beauty contests Mrs Roberts decides to be beastly, and their opinions not worthy of consideration. Like a Puritan, Mrs Roberts is part of a small minority, impermeable to reason, and determined to impose humourless precepts on us all. — Yours, etc., (Miss) L. T. TAYLOR November 1, 1984.
