    When I entered college in 1969, women were shedding girdles, padded bras and conventions. Women were once again imitating men and acting all independent: smoking, drinking, wanting to earn money and thinking they had the right to be sexual, this time protected by the pill.
【R1】______
    Decades after the feminist movement promised equality with men, it was becoming increasingly apparent that many women would have to brush up on the venerable tricks of the trade: an absurdly charming little laugh, a pert toss of the head, an air of saucy triumph, dewy eyes and a full knowledge of music, drawing, elegant note writing and geography. Today, women have gone back to hunting their quarry—in person and in cyberspace—with elaborate schemes designed to allow the deluded creatures to think they are the hunters.
【R2】______
    Now dating etiquette has reverted. Young women no longer care about using the check to assert their equality. They care about using it to assess their sexuality. Going Dutch is an archaic feminist relic. Young women talk about it with disbelief and disdain.
【R3】______
    Men would rather marry their secretaries than their bosses, and evolution may be to blame. A study by psychology researchers at the University of Michigan, using college undergraduates, suggested that men going for long-term relationships would rather marry women in subordinate jobs than women who are supervisors. Men think that women with important jobs are more likely to cheat on them. There it is, right in the DNA: women get penalized by insecure men for being too independent. Women moving up still strive to marry up. Men moving up still tend to marry down. The two sexes’ going in opposite directions has led to an epidemic of professional women missing out on husbands and kids.
【R4】______
    Many women now do not think of domestic life as a comfortable concentration camp, where they are losing their identities and turning into anonymous biological robots in a docile mass. Now they want to be Mrs. Anonymous Biological Robot in a Docile Mass. They dream of being rescued—to shop, to stay home and be taken care of. They shop for"Stepford Fashions"—matching shoes and ladylike bags and the 50’s-style satin, lace and.chiffon party dresses featured in InStyle layouts—and spend their days at the gym trying for Wisteria Lane waistlines.
【R5】______
    Cosmo is still the best-selling magazine on college campuses, as it was when I was in college, and the best-selling monthly magazine on the newsstand. The June 2005 issue, with Jessica Simpson on the cover, her cleavage spilling out of an orange croqueted halter dress, could have been June 1970. The headlines are familiar:"How to turn him on in 10 words or less, ""Do You Make Men M-E-L-T? Take our quiz, ""Bridal Special, " "Cosmo’s stud search" and "Cosmo’s Most Famous Sex Tips; the Legendary Tricks That Have Brought Countless Guys to Their Knees. "
    What I didn’t like at the start of the feminist movement was that young women were dressing alike, looking alike and thinking alike. They were supposed to be liberated, but it just seemed like stifling conformity. What I don’t like now is that the young women rejecting the feminist movement are dressing alike, looking alike and thinking alike. Before it was" don’t be a sex object; "now it’s" be a sex object"—but the conformity is just as stifling.
