Sexism: the Sequel

Published: March 13, 1988

To the Editor:

Janet Maslin may be speaking less of a phase than of history. Possibly it's the long-in-coming backlash against the excesses of the women's movement.

If so, was it fair in the headline to speak of sexism? Were the feminists called sexist a generation ago?

If what we're seeing is an equilibrium being sought, that's not necessarily bad. Perhaps it's meeting distortion with dis-torsion. RAY HARVEY Great Neck, N.Y.
