in yesterday's post (sorry for the layout; the blog software didn't provide paragraphs...i threw out the machine!), I pointed out that the photographs accompanying an article on women's desire in The New York Times were all of women. They looked desirable, but had little to do with what women desire. For that, according to the piece itself, the photos should have been of men. Men's faces thrown back in ecstasy, perhaps. Men's stomachs and chests. Not women's.
Freud said women's desire was "a dark continent." No, it is a continent obscured by the insistence of one point of view over another. Unfortunately, that point of view is not women's.
