...just begun with Jim, who says of Sigourney, "She's very smart. She's very affectionate. I'm very lucky." There are children in their future. And a Durang; Chris and Sigourney will keep acting, writing and capering. Though Weaver says she would "play anything -- a broom, a mop" in a Woody Allen film, she wants to be more than a housewife's helper in other roles. "Usually women in films have had to carry the burden of sympathy, only coming to life when a man enters. Doesn't everyone know that women are incredibly strong?" Right you are, Sigourney...

...clitoral stimulation were made to feel like retards or perverts. The feminists just reversed that. It was a much-loved way of downgrading penis-vagina sex and upgrading masturbation. Soon provagina women had to take to the hills like guerrillas. Clitoral enforcers like Shere Hite were sent out to mop up any remaining opposition: the poor deluded women who said they had vaginal orgasms and thought they were enjoying them. Hite called this "emotional" orgasm, as opposed to "real" orgasm. The clitoro-feminists also managed to clear out the compromisers, who believed in "blended" vaginal-clitoral orgasms.
