In my reading of the Emily Dickinson poem I was struck by a notion of sexism as internal dissonance that had not previously occurred to me. If we internalize the ideologies of our institutions and said ideologies are sexist in nature, privileging the male over the female, what does this mean for to the mind of a woman? I have no idea. It is indeed a many-splendored thing to be a heterosexual white man and with each successive unit I am appreciating it more and more. Thank you lit theory!
P.S. apologies for my extended absence. To quote the rap group Clipse, "These are the days of our lives and I'm sorry to the fans but these crackers weren't playing fair jive"
