Vogue contributing editor rolls back women's lib

Vogue contributing editor and New York socialite Plum Sykes -- whose lavish nuptials were detailed in a multi-page spread in the magazine some years ago -- clearly isn't down with the tenets of Gloria Steinem (or "Sex and the City" for that matter).

In an article hyping long-sleeved dresses in the October Vogue, the author kicks things off with the blind conviction of a TV evangelist:

"There are three things a woman really needs at 38: a husband, at least one child, and a dress with long sleeves."

Silly us, cultivating friendships and careers. It's amazing that Sykes didn't catch how regressive -- and downright Betty Crocker -- that remark is. Or perhaps she doesn't care?

I could not believe this article or that it made it through the editing process. She is beyond annoying
