Hunks and Brutes

[Murthy Yenamandra]

>From Maureen Dowd's NYT column yesterday:

http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/28/opinion/28DOWD.html

"Bad news for the Dockers generation. "The Hunk Factor," blared the
headline in Monday's USA Today. "Manly men and their uniforms muscle
onto the scene."

"Women looking for "knights in shining helmets" say they are now turned
off by effete investment bankers and dot-commers in blue button- down
shirts, khakis and designer glasses.

"So American women now ogle the macho men they once spurned."

Damn! But did they ever stop ogling them? Frenesi is probably watching
CNN now instead of CHiPS...
