    What's Really Scary Is . . .

    Salon's Feminist Utopia

    "Why are these women doing all the baking and cleaning and schlepping to husbands' office parties?"

    Possibly b/c their husbands can't afford Alice from the Brady Bunch?

    "I wanted to scream, 'Buy something for yourself! Let your husband get his own dinner!'"

    "It's the same thing women talk about all the time, that their husband doesn't clean the house or doesn't do this or that. A man will step over the bag of garbage to get to the beer in the fridge, and a woman will pick up the bag of garbage as soon as she walks into the kitchen."

    Ah. Man = Slob. How avant-garde.
