Dragon's Egg

In writing yesterday's entry it struck me how substantially a woman's body is thought not so much of as her own, but as subject to the likes and dislikes of males she may associate with. How, for instance, Mr. Andrade, no doubt, liked what he saw, until he discovered his sight was not as particularly acute as he'd imagined it. Yes, I don't know for a fact that he did so, but the aftermath would indicate to me that was so.

Then in the terms of the discussion at the blog I linked to, the guys who commented there seemed to believe that whatever else was true they could know that they knew female bodies and things like vaginal depth and the feel of breasts could somehow grant them a knowledge of "who is real and who isn't." I'm not saying you're wrong fellows; but, you're wrong.
