A few weeks earlier Mr. Buckley and Miss Greer had taken part in a formal debate
at Cambridge on the women's liberation movement. In this rematch, we start out at the level of movement politics ("So I have to do this mental juggling act of reconciling the professional women's association with the radical lesbians ..."), and go from there through the betrayal of the Russian Revolution "when Lenin decided to ridicule Aleksandra Kollontai and to absolutely outlaw the workers' opposition" (WFB: "Now, are we in 1919 in the women's liberation movement?"), to the generation gap created by the mobile nuclear family, to this imperishable exchange: GG: "Well, I mean somebody is exploiting the hell out of sex. I mean, everybody exploits what they have.... I might as well say that if you weren't such a good-looking fellow, you wouldn't be in the position that you're in today. You exploit it too. You may not do it consciously." WFB: "Well, now, wait a minute." GG (to the audience): "Don't you agree that he is a pretty man?" WFB: "Well, I... Let's accept that as a hypothesis." GG: "I think interpersonal subjectivity proves it to be true. Just as this studio is pale blue, you're a pretty man."
