"How shocking and valuable might it be for Mailer to hear the grievances of his women before an impartial observer, without the possibility of overbearing them by the threat of violence or eloquence. What fun it would be to accept all his thrasonical challenges and then unveil him to his own womenfolk, including his dark and velvety daughters, and ask them what they think of him."
