...afraid of feminists. Their insistence on the distinctive and inalienable quality of women seems to be doing a rather fine job of opening doors at law schools, and med schools, even business schools; but this insistence also carries with it the troublesome but logical conclusion that there is a gender-related community existing and developing among women...
Like previous Warhol-Morrissey collaborations (in which Warhol appears to furnish mostly his name and a little spiritual guidance), Dracula features a cast of actors who look like stragglers from the Apocalypse. Most are anonymous, possessing a similar flexibility of gender. The one readily identifiable figure, Joe Dallesandro, plays - badly, of course - a servant in a rich, decadent household. In such surroundings his New York street accent is in vigorating: "What's the count doin' with you two who-ahs?" he inquires of two sapphic sisters, and gets only a glazed sneer for a response...
...whose human status is abrogated by her absence of maleness. Denied expression in self-defining work (as in Rank's man-as-artist equation), woman is excluded from participation in half of Freud's definition for normal human existence.

With a psychological frame-up like that, it's easy...

Collins and Godmilow mean to show that a musician of invigorating talent was shunted aside because of a prejudice against her sex that still prevails. The Brico abilities are strong and bracing, much...
...artificial and causes administrative complications. I don't see any reason why men and women are separated." Rosovsky is not alone in his perplexity. A lot of us have been vainly seeking the reason for years. But the fact remains that men and women are separated. Maybe someday gender will be a rather incidental fact in our daily lives--but today it is central to everything we think and do. Yes, men and women are separate--and some of us are more equal than others. And while the existence of Radcliffe is symptomatic of that separation, it is also part...
