...fact that she is virtually lying about one thing and our people will be on the--" Helen is by Mr. Euripides, who a colleague of Richard Nixon on the Un-American Activities once cited for spreading communist propaganda. Classics-minded sources tell me this play is pretty misogynist, however, and it's being done in the original Greek, which should minimize its danger. I will not quote the relevant line from Julius Caesar. Tonight till Saturday, 7:30 at the Loeb...
...that women, when they are in power, are much harsher than men ... You're schemers, you're evil. Every one of you." The misogynist? Iran's Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, 54, in an interview with idol-smashing Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaci published in the New Republic. Fallaci, whose belt already holds the scalps of Henry Kissinger, Willy Brandt and Nguyen Van Thieu, scored again with the revelation that the Shah is not, after all, a ladies' man. What prompted His Sublime Highness's anger, however, was something quite simple. Fallaci had asked...
Jane also implied that the adaptation had been written by a misogynist. Torvald, Rank and Krogstad-all the men-had been portrayed much too sympathetically. The script failed to reflect a true understanding of women, especially their relationship with one another as expressed in the scenes between Nora and Kristine.

...Fischer, these fantasies are confined to chess. He is as monocentric as he is egocentric. Chess is his whole life, leaving little room for conventional social relationships with men and women. Some supporters deny that he is a misogynist, but he has given ample evidence of it, and Fine says that Fischer is afraid of women. Much of his openly outrageous behavior can be attributed to his emotionally deprived childhood. And his struggle to the summit since then has left him still without the inner security needed to accept defeat. He is a killer-not necessarily in the Oedipal sense...
Still, Fiedler finds American writers displaying at least covert hostility to women. Probably none has matched in misogynist invective Philip Wylie's diatribe in Generation of Vipers (1942): "I give you mom. I give you the destroying mother ... I give you the woman in pants, and the new religion: she-popery. I give you Pandora. I give you Proserpine, the Queen of Hell. The five-and-ten-cent-store Lilith, the mother of Cain, the black widow who is poisonous and eats her mate, and I designate at the bottom of your program the grand finale of all soap...
