I think that's the best synopsis of that novel I've seen. Ever see the movie with DeNiro as the young doctor's "creature?" Good flick. Would that self-destructive monsters were all the death-obsessed patriarchy created. Unfortunately, it also breeds creatures bent on murderous revenge on their creator by slaughtering his blameless family. Oh, very nice, saltyC.

It's ironic when you consider that the first sci-fi novel was written by a woman, and it was a warning about what happens when men act on their womb-envy: they fear their own creation and forget that the only way to create is with love, and what you get is a self-destructive monster.

Clearly there is a difference between mere patriarchy-blaming and the fascinating mind of luckynkl. Got sock?

Dear Mar Iguana, I’ve read that a long itme ago, since I’ve been posting here since it was a TypePad blog. Clearly there is a difference between mere patriarchy-blaming and the fascinating mind of luckynkl.

It is intended for advanced patriarchy-blamers. Novices, callow youths, and the Twist-curious are welcome to watch and learn, but are encouraged to put a sock in it until they have looked up “feminism” and “patriarchy” on their own time. Patriarchy-blaming ain’t rocket science, but if you don’t have at least a rudimentary familiarity with feminist theory, believe me, you’ll embarrass us both." Got sock?

I do believe I hear the sound of cement being poured and nails being hammered into wood as we speak. In the meanwhile, did you notice that you are the only one that needs what I said spelled out to you? That's because everyone else seems to get it so there's no need for me to go further and be redundant and belabor my points. But since you need an example, tag! You're it!

I assume that this is part of the whole strategy, because if one were to take her literally, one would imagine that nickels fall <i>up</i>. Most intriguing, however, is her comment, <i>An artificial world, that he has to wake every morning to construct and reconstruct in order to reverse the well-balanced order of the natural world, which he regards as female and something to be conquered, in order to put himself unnaturally in the driver’s seat and in control.</i> and I'm wondering how she thinks the world should be regarded and who or what should be in control. A little bit further up, <i>Just the typical male womb envy and dreams of male motherhood that are a constant theme in his sci-fi flicks and religions. But as most of us know, about the only thing men are capable of producing is a mess.</i> And I'm wondering just what her utopia would look like, because it sounds like she believes that womb envy and motherhood dreams are defining characteristics of maleness. If so, that implies things for how her utopia would operate.
