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).
