Susan,

This from p. 87 of Alison Jaggar's _Feminist Politics and Human Nature_:

"Mary Daly has argued tha the notion of androgyny suggests "two  
distorted halves of a human being stuck together — something like John  
Wayne and Brigitte Bardot scotch-taped together — as if two distorted  
'halves' could make a whole."

Jaggar's citation points to p. 30 in "the qualitative leap beyond  
patriarchal religion," Quest 1, no. p (Spring 1975).
