...just spent five hours bending over backward and is now being attacked anyway. Hanging in the air was the belief that masochism exists but henceforth no woman will ever be diagnosed as suffering from it because the women's movement would be disappointed. Some of the women even doubt that a masochistic personality exists. Garfinkel believes there "simply is no research" to prove it. Walker thinks the group should "junk the whole thing."
