i suddenly know why i like what douglas adams wrote (apart from the reasons why others liked it): his women characters are so subtly and undemandingly intelligent.
once someone asked me if i would say i was a feminist. i replied thinking with a final, slow, not totally self-convincing, "no". and would you believe that that person also told me that until it was cleared to them by a certain 'feminist' prof, they had thought feminism was all about loving pink, being dainty, hating and blaming men for everything, and in general being useless and nonsensical. this was a B.A. class of girls
