A drear column about the evils of prostitution is followed by this comment from Tomahawk:
I’ve got my own idea for a TV comedy show, called ‘Wimmin’. Four sassy
gals straight out of their media-studies finals join the Guardian and
set about putting the world of patriarchy to rights. There’s Julie, the
feminazi, who thinks all men are bastards. There’s Germaine, the brainy
one, who says that when white men hold doors open for women, it’s
‘oppression’, but when Muslim men force their daughters to wear
burkhas, it’s ‘their culture’. Then there’s Natasha, who campaigns
ceaselessly for men to sit on the loo when they pee. Finally, there’s
Catherine whose hilarious struggles with penis-envy lead her to write a
pisspoor "humorous" column under a male pseudonym. Our four intrepid
gals all work for stern elderly schoolma’am, Georgina, whose
catchphrase is: "1000 words by tea-time, please — any old crap will
do!"
