    So what the heck is a "Thelma & Louise" type?  All I can think of is
    "an easy-going good-looking het woman who enjoys sex and reacts
    violently to rape".  Is this some new singles ad jargon?  Is the
    problem that she'll drink all my Wild Turkey 101?

It's not the Wild Turkey. It's the Wild oats.

    The kind who mumble for hours on end about how everything is a phallic
    symbol and how marriage is legalized slavery and how the patriarchy is
    oppressing them  ... etc etc etc
    
    I think you know the type, Ray.
1308.3Wild Oats would be a great name for a Scotch, BTW...ESGWST::RDAVISThe Interpretation of DweebsWed Sep 30 1992 14:5012
    No, can't say I've ever met one of those.  Sounds more like Marlon
    Brando actually... Where do you meet these inexhaustible mumblers? 
    Why did you go out with them?  As Ann Magnusson asks in her great
    Bongwater song about sex between men and chickens, "I mean, is it
    appealing or what?"
    
    And most of all, why call them "Thelma & Louise types"?  T&L seemed
    like good ol' girls, never heerd 'em even try to pronounce
    "patriarchy", and their interest in phallic symbols was purely
    practical...

    Ray, are you questioning my choice of terms or whether women such as
    I've described actually exist?

    I think Ray was questioning your term, as it was unclear as to just
    what you meant by it.  Even now that you have explained it, I'm
    at a loss to see the connection to the movie characters.
