It is not very often that I read something in the Viewpoint that has any major effect on me. However, when I read Greg Yatarola’s column (“Anorexia and the devil,” Oct. 2) I thought I might vomit. Probably surprisingly to Mr. Yatarola, it wasn’t because I felt a sudden compulsion to lose a few more pounds so that our trag­ ically flawed society would accept me, or even because the main point of his column was so elusive that I got a bit dizzy after the fourth or so paragraph. No, despite being told by an apparently female- respecting writer that I “dress like an Amazon” simply to elicit male attentions or that the reason he doesn’t find me attrac­ tive is that my physique doesn’t “correlate positively with fertility” (what?), the thing that really got me was his nonchalant ref­ erence to partial-birth abortions in the opening paragraph. You know what’s ironic to me, Greg? The fact that you claim to be concerned with the “health problems, physical and psycho­ logical” that stem from high beauty stan­ dards, and yet, you can still make a joke T xyn f7- about sucking the brains from a human being that is only inches away from inde­ pendent life.
