Feminist stories

“The woman’s blink rate tells him she’s nervous: almost once per second, four times the normal count. Jack knows a touch of nerves can help soften up a client, especially in the clinic’s private waiting cubicles, but if he overdoes it she may fear opening her wallet. And that must be avoided at all costs.”


“Feminism's association with activism is one reason people shy away from it, says Deborah L. Rhode in this excerpt from "What Women Want." A history of negative media coverage has also fueled this aversion. … Public opinion polls over the last two decades underscore the problem. Taken together, they reveal a striking ambivalence.”
