Feminist backlash

Martha Burk sounds the alarm:
As an old-line feminist, you surely realize you are living in an age of feminist backlash. One sign of that is the sudden fashion for pink clothing.

It's retro in the worst sense of the word. We are back in the 50's. Soon we are going to see puffy petticoats and crinoline skirts.

A traditional Norfolk koan may assist:


Wiltshire wheat

A new crop circle appears overnight
In a Wiltshire wheat field.
It is 651 metres long,
524 metres wide,
And involves intersecting Mandelbrot fractals.
PC James Tollard and several women
See two Martian UFOs in the vicinity.
They take a number of high-resolution digital photographs.
Sixty five per cent of the women
Are carrying handbags.
The best photograph
Is of a green handbag.
