What Is a woman?
When the feathered Farrah Fawcett look was in style — and my sisters persuaded me to be the first kid at St. Germaine to sport teen-pop-star David Cassidy’s famous shag haircut — all of us spent way too much time shampooing and conditioning our hair in the shower.
The water, gas and electric bills were astronomical.
When my dad pleaded for the umpteenth time for us to cut back on our shower time, one or more of my sisters would storm out of the room, slamming a door or two.
“For godssakes, Betty, what did I do?” my dad said, hopelessly befuddled by the women in his life.
So it’s refreshing that so many others, including a Supreme Court nominee, are as now as confused as my father and I have long been about what a woman is.
