X, you totally lost me when you said maybe you should wear woollens. It does seem that Greer is not the only woman writing about the seeming emptiness of feminist values, particularly its freedoms, however.

I would like to read this book, because I have seen its author on television talking head programs and find her interesting. I also wonder if the review totally accurately reflects her thoughts and ideas--the interviewer seems slightly hostile. I found it provocative because this is a young woman who has just been through a late nineties American college experience. I know there was a lot of promiscuity when I went to college as well, a lot of eating disorders, mental health problems, etc. The author makes an interesting point about the value of a woman's modesty in attracting a mate (although her immaturity may have caused her to go off the deep end in some of her other statements, which are not totally logical, according to the reviewer). Did this rash of problems start with the feminist movement? I wonder what college life was like in earlier decades.
