Arch Quote of the Day

From Susan Lydon's obit in the UK Telegraph (Lydon wrote the famous 1970 feminist essay "The Politics of Orgasm"):

Susan Lydon's depiction of the matrimonial bed as a sexual and political minefield into which the ideologically unsophisticated trespass at their peril was not, perhaps, the most promising basis for a long-term relationship, and she never found lasting happiness with a man. Instead, after a series of failed love affairs and a period of drug addiction, she found salvation in knitting and, with characteristic missionary zeal, sought to turn this humble craft into a Cause.

For more on the colorful life of Ms. Lydon, read her obituaries by Stacy Finz in the SF Chronicle or by Julie Bindel in the UK Guardian.
