"But...but...but...I thought that THIS was maureen dowdy. :-)"
It was. A long time ago. Before she became bitter, drank too much for too long, and aged horribly. Some years ago, before all of that, she wasn't at all hard to look at, or, I would imagine, to wake up and find next to you. She produced better prose then, too.
But now, she is the living embodiment of the dark side of misguided feminism - a warning to younger women of it's perils. There is absolutely nothing wrong with educated women of talent and accomplishment. Personally, I find them quite appealing. As long as they don't become men along the way.
