They swayed as he walked. Sometimes they swayed freely. His penis hung down in front. I decided to take him on those terms."
It's from her mocking review of Pig World by Charles Runyon, which she published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in December 1972, which I found in her AWESOME collection The Country You Have Never Seen. She also says, "every woman in it has pubes, breasts, buttocks, and sometimes even a navel! I tend to take these things for granted, but Mr. Runyon... has apparently never gotten over that first shock of peeking into the girls' locker room." Then she lists the page numbers on which female anatomy is mentioned. I love her so much.
