Even people connected with the show seem abashed by its implicit sexism ... Farrah Fawcett-Majors, the spectacularly maned frosted blond who is first among equals as a sex object [is] seen braless on all the shows. She has even on occasion refused to don a bikini, not because she has an objection to the costume but because she felt the only rationale...
