...surprised at how fast some men are changing to meet the new demands of working women." That sentiment was echoed by New York Correspondent Wayne Svoboda, who found the male experts he interviewed virtually (and, cynics might say, predictably) unanimous in their objection to Hite's indictment of masculine behavior. "The book makes men sound like smugly apathetic brutes who don't care about depriving women of emotional sustenance," he says. All of which confirms what Hite learned long ago: if you make people angry, they will listen. And, of course, read...
...Hite's view, one of her most disturbing and important discoveries was the pervasiveness of "private emotional violence" inflicted by men upon women. Such violence, she says, is conveyed through insults, hostility, teasing and aggressive behavior. Virtually all her respondents (92%) complained that men communicate with women in language that indicates "condescending, judgmental attitudes."

"I don't think Beryl ever thought how her behavior must have appeared to the people of the real world," a friend once said, "and if she had thought, she would have said it was stupid and would certainly never have let it worry her for a minute...
...they must perform a difficult straddle. The question in Washington is whether they are becoming more like rock stars than reporters -- the Mick Jaggers of journalism, so highly paid, so powerful and self-important that they feel no personal constraints. Indeed, it sometimes seems that the more bizarre their behavior, the greater their fame and audience...
