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

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.
