Women and Love, Hite's latest salvo in the battle of the sexes -- and the subject of this week's cover story -- sparked some skirmishes in the corridors of TIME. Many staff members who worked on the story were moved to conduct personal surveys on the state of male-female relationships. "It felt more like a national group-therapy session than a workweek," says Chicago Correspondent Elizabeth Taylor. Hite's basic conclusion, that women are profoundly dissatisfied in their dealings with men, was hotly debated. "Some people say her questions are rigged," notes Reporter-Researcher Jeannie Park...
...believe the world is as bleak for women as she says," Wallis observes. Associate Editor Martha Smilgis agrees. "I am 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...
...lucrative business. The Hite Report: A Nationwide Study on Female Sexuality (1976) and The Hite Report on Male Sexuality (1981) together earned the coolly glamorous author $2.5 million. The new tome, Women and Love, a Cultural Revolution in Progress (Knopf; $24.95), is characteristically grandiose in scope, murky in methodology -- and right on target for commercial appeal. Having spent seven years analyzing a survey of the views of some 4,500 American women, Hite has concluded that they are fed up with the male of the species. "What is going on right now in the minds of women is a large...
Although the department originally set a limit of 15 concentrators, Head Tutor Sonya Michel said that undergraduate response was greater than expected this year. Of the 16 current concentrators and joint-concentrators, all are women, although Michel said one male student was selected and opted for Social Studies instead...
They learn leadership by example: top administrators at women's colleges tend to be women and, on average, the faculty is 61% female, in contrast to 27% for all higher-ed schools. Without the intimidating male presence, notes WCC's Reindorf, students at all-female colleges are more apt to venture into such traditionally male fields as engineering, physics and economics. At Bryn Mawr, for example, the percentage of physics majors is 20 times as great as the national average for all women students...
