Dear Sir:

The letter from Misses Mathiowitz
and Moore of Sept. 18 speaks
of the "joke" about the road-tripping
Virginia male and his
"tradition of male chauvinism"
here. Indeed! Is that a note of envy
one detects, aimed at the sweet
young belle from afar who takes
the time to cater to that male
chauvinism and gets her hubby and
her toilet bowls? Or rather, is it
that familiarity, having bred
nothing better than contempt, now
forces the local sort to admit that
they (begrudgingly) really want a
little of that male attention after
all. (C'mon guys, you can see it's a
joke; all that serious bit about stud
farms and arrogance and you're
going to take her to the game this
Saturday?) Shucks.
