How to sella P.M.

LONDON (UPI) - What's 8
inches tall, dressed in “Tory
blue” with a molded hairdo
and a plastic smile?

It’s the Margaret Thatcher
doll — at $27.50 expected to
be a runaway hit in the
United States and Great
Britain, where it went on sale
at the end of April .

The doll is dressed in a
replica of the blue jacket,
pleated skirt and print
blouse Mrs. Thatcher was
wearing the night she was

elected prime minister. The
date of her triumph
is stamped on the back of the
doll’s neck.

The miniature Margaret
also wears a white slp and
what is called, in the British
parlance, knickers.

“We try to make under-

clothing correct to the
period,” explained Jack
Wilson, chairman of the

doll’s manufacturers, House
of Nisbet, Ltd. “And this 1s

20th century underwear.”

Wilson said the company
did not consult the prime
minister before putting out
the prototype. “But we really
hope she will like it,” he
said. “We'd like her to like
it.”

Mrs. Thatcher’ was
keeping her reaction to
herself.

Watching male

strippers

‘not

liberated thing’

LOS ANGELES (UPI) -
“To go and ogle the bodies of
men, as men have so long
done to women, is just not a
liberated, feminist thing to
do,” a feminist leader
protested.

“I certainly don’t plan to
attend,” huffed another.

“Hyprocnites,” replied the
feminist leader who
organized a_ fund-raising
event tonight featunng male
strip teasers.

It is sexist exploitation
when men pay to watch
women strippers, she said,
but not when women pay to
see men.

The controversy may have
spht the Los Angeles area
feminist movement, but it
made the night a sellout, said
organizer Gloria Allred.

“We expect a capacity
crowd of about 400 at $15 a
ucket,” said Ms. Allred,
prominent feminist attorney
and president of the
Women's Equal Rights Legal
Defense and Education
Fund.

“News reports about the
protests really helped sell the
tickets.”

The fund is sponsoring a
show at Chippendale’s, a
club in suburban Culver City
that features male strippers.
The revenue goes to a
program teaching women
how to collect support
payments from ex-husbands
without paying for a lawyer.

If nothing else, said Ms.
Allred, that should counter
the charge that feminists
“have no sense of humor”.

“We do, and we think tt
will be fun.”

“I personally don't find 1
funny - not at all,” protested
Shelly Mandel, president of
the Los Angeles chapter of
the National Organization

“This is sex for bucks,
right?” said Boots Jones, vice
chair of the local branch of
the National Women's
Political Caucus. “As
feminists, we do not
necessarily copy the bad
behaviour of men. This sets
the cause of feminism back.”

Ms. Allred was in the
unaccustomed position of
defending herself from
charges of sexism.

“I agree that when women
strip that is exploitative.
Some women have to strip to
support their children. They
might only be able to work
as secretanes or manicurists
or domestics - positions
worthy of respect, but all
low paying.

“Men have a world of
positions open to them. They
don't have to do this. When
men strip it's a joke, not
exploitation,” she said.
