Its almost hard to read that without embarassment for both of them. Betty's outbursts only matched by the completely un-self-aware rhetoric of one out of touch, self-involved politically ignorant 'feminist' bashing another in strangely childish language. It also reads like a shallow attempt at replicating this ( http://lrb.co.uk/v27/n06/cast01_.html ) excellent, damning, but ultimately fair portrait of Susan Sontag, written by another cast off former admirer from the feminist camp, albeit one with tact and grace.
