"Woman, in Ai's embodiment, wants sex," Ostriker writes. "She knows about death and can kill animals and people. She is hard as dirt. Her realities — very small ones — are so intolerable that we fashion female myths to express our fear of her. She, however, lives the hard life below our myths."[/quote]. One for pseuds' corner.
