N. and I went out today for a belated celebration of the International Women’s Day. At dinner, he made the following toast:

Let’s drink to femininity both in you and in me.

He’s so perfect.

    I’m giving that toast a “Here, here!”

    Femininity is another idea or term that I have no notion about, in the same way that I have no notion of normality. Biologically, my state is very violent. I’m addressing this issue, and my unconscious mind seems to have latched onto a metaphor I’ve provided it, for in last night’s dream, I was at an army headquarters to receive a pin for this vicious grenade. Actually, I’m having a hormonally charged IUD inserted next month.

    In any case, I have no idea what femininity is. Is it perpetual violence? Is it explosions? Is it the ripping of the flesh from the bone?

    No idea.

      It’s what you want it to be, of course.

    Im not sooo sure he was speaking of feminism. I think we may need to psychoanalize what he REALLY meant by that. 😉

      Actually, according to Jung, he described a perfectly healthy human psyche. 🙂

      This is a marginal group of religious freaks. Who cares about them? Not me. 🙂
