...centerpiece of side one is, of course, the title track 'Some Girls.' Sugar Blue's magnificent harp gives way to Jagger's ironic and at times obscene catalogue of women. His stance is that of a complete misogynist defending his case. In an interview with Jonathan Cott in Rolling Stone, Jagger insisted that "Some Girls" is a joke and not a statement of anti-feminism. It's hard to read anything else but anti-feminism into a line like, "some girls take the shirt off my back and leave me with a lethal dose," but it's also hard...

Feminist Author Ellen Willis complains about the "perverse symbolism" in last year's Swept Away, claiming Wertmuller "panders to two classic male-supremacist lies: that women dominate men, and that women are parasites while men do all the work."

...getting down to work, she stopped by to see a Manhattan screening of Warren's latest film, Shampoo, a comedy about a hairdresser's sex life. In it he claims "to challenge the assumption that a hypersexual character -a Don Juan-is acting out of anger or misogynist feelings or latent homosexuality." Despite Warren's machismo and Shirley's feminism, the two exchanged a warm kiss while one member of the audience pronounced herself sold on Warren's philosophy. Said Actress Sylvia Miles: "I've been going to the wrong hairdresser...
