"Standing Woman"

So that's the story I've been trying to remember. I read it (in the supermarket (remember when supermarkets carried decent books and mags?)) in Omni and wondered a) why someone would write a story like that and b) why anyone would publish it.

(Mind you, I was like 11 at the time. And I still wonder both.)

I JUST read that this past week in the First Book of Omni SF.

It's misanthropist enough that, if it had been written by a white person, I'm sure that I would have been forced to read it for English class at some point.

(In the unlikely event that I ever encounter any of my English teachers again, I will ask them why they tried so hard to make me hate reading. Times ten for any teacher who assigned Dickens.)
