A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.
And apparently fish started riding bicycles after Gloria Steinem got married. At any rate, the story of "Julia" fits in perfectly with the leftist-lib vision of the perfect woman. Especially the no-man-around part of it. In the future versions of Julia, there won't be any men, women will get pregnant by injection. All males will be killed at birth. If every man-hating fem-nazi from the sixties would admit it, that would be their ideal world.
A woman needs cradle-to-grave Government like a fish needs a USDA inspector.
