...Fallaci, the tiny (5 ft. 1 in.) Italian reporter who takes on the big guys for L'Europeo magazine, was off for a tenth visit to Viet Nam to reinterview President Thieu and cover the American withdrawal. The way she explains her exclusive interviews with world leaders, however, gender has less to do with it than size. "I got Thieu to talk because we are both very short. Henry Kissinger didn't talk as much because he's slightly taller than...
Boggs, divorced from his, occasionally picks up hookers of indeterminate gender. Once in a while these characterizations swerve close to caricature, like the movie itself. But Hickey and Boggs is one of those weird, not wholly successful genre films that, for their general vigor and many individual virtues, end up being a great deal more engaging than the typical big-budget Hollywood behemoth...
...distinction in gender between "son" and "grandchild" is not accidental. While Playboy is male-oriented, Oui is supposed to speak to both sexes. European stringers and photographers are contributing news and nudes from the Continent. As one of two co-editors, Hefner hired Jean-Louis Ginibre, 38, from Lui, France's own answer to Playboy.

Ironically, Daly, and to some extent Ruether, seem to be practicing what they preach against: gender stereotyping.

He was incarnated as a man and chose male apostles, they would argue, because that was the need of his time: a female Messiah (and even female apostles) would have been outlandish. But there is no reason that Jesus and his Apostles could not represent feminine aspirations in their...
...Bath made that ill-veiled threat, literature was still largely in the hands not only of men but monks. It was more than four centuries before women in any numbers began to write fiction; but almost as soon as they did, it was clear that writing talent has no gender. Jane Austen is one of the supreme geniuses of the novel, and only a handful of writers have exceeded the accomplishment of George Eliot, the Brontës, Virginia Woolf. For years, though, criticism has been full of daffy generalizations uttered with patriarchal assurance about women as miniaturists, delicate sensibilities...
