ellauri008.html on line 837: Stemming from Ernest's treatment as a child, where his overbearing mother put him in dresses (a common practice then, but which his mother took to the extreme, even treating him like a girl), Hemingway had an interesting relationship with gender and his perceptions of it. He probably never engaged in homosexual activity but there can be no doubt that he idolized the male form. There are scenes in almost all of his books but certainly in his major novels where the men are presented in a homerotic manner. Farewell to Arms is kind of an eyebrow raiser. But this is also the man who wrote The Garden of Eden, which was about gender switching. Ernest's 3rd son "ille faciet" Gregory fulfilled his dad's dream. Go read Running With The Bulls. This is written by his son Gregory’s wife Valerie, who had to deal with the fact that her man was a transvestite and died from a botched sex change. Very few people know this.
ellauri161.html on line 179: Psykoanalyyttisestä aivojumpasta voimmekin hypätä takaisin ensimmäiseen kysymyksistä, siihen kaikkein kiistellyimpään: mikä on mies, mikä nainen? Nyölen haluaa aloittaa viittaamalla Valerie Solanasin, tunnetun sekopään, teoriaan, jonka mukaan mies on viallinen, geenitasolla abortoitu nainen! Siinäpä uskottava "fakta". No, oletettavasti siis miehen elämäntehtävä on murtaa tämä biologinen vankila. Nyölénin ratkaisu ongelmaan on dandyismi, 1800-luvun Oscar Wilde-tyylinen hienostelu. Dandyismi on "miehen pelastussuunitelma", jossa tarkoitus on tehdä kaikkensa, jottei olisi mies! Mutta hän ei oikeasti edes usko geeneihin, ei edes atomeihin! Hän päätyy siis hylkäämään koko sukupuolieron, koska se on vain suuri valhe. Hän ihmettelee, miten kukaan suostuu uskomaan, että on välttämättömyys olla mies tai nainen! Sukupuoliero on siis uskonto! USKONTO! Pakko myöntää, että Antin logiikka katosi tässä kohdin. Andy koittaa näyttääkin dandyltä tyhmine golfinpelaajan lippalakkeineen. Mutta se on selvästikin snobi, Vantaan Mikkolasta Maunulan rivitaloon oravana kivunnut nousukas.
ellauri257.html on line 544: Hän syntyi Yisruel Yehoyshye Zingeriksi, Pinchas (LOL Pinehas, se joka puhkoi nussijoita keihäällä!) Mendl Zyngerin, rabbin ja rabbiinisten kommenttien kirjoittajan, ja Basheva Zylbermanin pojaksi. Hän oli kirjailija Isaac Bashevis Singerin ja kirjailija Esther Kreitmanin veli. Hän meni naimisiin Genia Kupferstokin kanssa. Hänen vanhin poikansa Yasha kuoli 14-vuotiaana keuhkokuumeeseen ennen perheen muuttoa Amerikkaan. Hänen nuorempi poikansa Joseph Singer oli sekä isänsä että setänsä Isaac Bashevis Singerin teosten kääntäjä. Joseph, taidemaalari ja kirjailija, kuten isänsä, meni naimisiin June Flaum Singerin kanssa, josta tuli kirjailija. Heillä oli neljä lasta: Sharon Salinger, Brett Singer, IJ Singer ja Valerie Singer. Kolme tytärtä seurasivat perheyritystä ja ovat myös runoilijoita ja kirjailijoita sen ohella että käärivät tuohta Iisakin perinnöstä bashevish.com sivustolla.
ellauri262.html on line 306: Commentators have remarked on the apparent lack of sexuality in The Lord of the Rings; the feminist and queer theory scholar Valerie Rohy notes the female novelist A. S. Byatt's remark that "part of the reason I read Tolkien when I'm ill is that there is an almost total absence of sexuality in his world, which is restful"; the Tolkien scholar Tom Shippey wrote that "there is not enough awareness of sexuality" in the work; and the novelist and critic Adam Mars-Jones stated that "above all, sexuality [is] what is absent from the [work's] vision". Rohy comments that it is easy to see why they might say this; in the epic tradition, Tolkien "abandons courtship when battle looms, apparently sublimating sexuality to the greater quest". She accepts that there are three romances leading to weddings in the tale, those of Aragorn and Arwen, Éowyn and Faramir, and Sam and Rosie, but points out that their love stories are mainly external to the main narrative about the Ring, and that their beginnings are basically not shown: they simply appear as marriages.
ellauri262.html on line 418: On 3 January 1924, at the age of 30, Sayers secretly gave birth to an illegitimate son, John Anthony (later surnamed Fleming). John Anthony, "Tony", was given into care with her aunt and cousin, Amy and Ivy Amy Shrimpton, and passed off as her nephew to family and friends. Details of these circumstances were revealed in a letter from Mrs White to her daughter Valerie, Tony's half-sister, in 1958 after Sayers's death. Tony was raised by the Shrimptons and was sent to a good boarding school. In 1935 he was legally adopted by Sayers and her then husband "Mac" Fleming.
xxx/ellauri128.html on line 629: As an undergraduate, Atkinson read Simone de Beauvoir´s The Second Sex, and struck up a correspondence with de Beauvoir, who suggested that she contact Betty Friedan. Atkinson became an early member of Friedan´s National Organization for Women. Atkinson´s time with the organization was tumultuous, including a row with the national leadership over her attempts to defend and promote Valerie Solanas and her SCUM Manifesto in the wake of the Andy Warhol shooting. In 1968 she left the organization because it would not confront issues like abortion and marriage inequalities. She founded the October 17th Movement, which later became The Feminists, a radical feminist group active until 1973. By 1971 she had written several pamphlets on feminism, was a member of the Daughters of Bilitis and was advocating specifically political lesbianism. "Sisterhood," Atkinson famously said, "is powerful. It kills mostly sisters." The Daughters of Bilitis / b ɪ ˈ l iː t ɪ s /, also called the DOB or the Daughters, was the first lesbian civil and political rights organization in the United States. Bilitis is not cholitis nor Kari Matihaldi disease, but a fictional companion of Sappho.
xxx/ellauri187.html on line 145: If the adolescent Rilke broke up with his adolescent girlfriend, Valerie von David-Rhônfeld, he was a treacherous seducer. Freedman quotes copiously from David-Rhônfeld's embittered memoirs--published shortly after Rilke's death--to posit a pattern in Rilke's personality. "I came to love that poor unfortunate creature," David-Rhônfeld recalls about her teenage sweetheart, "whom everyone avoided like a mangy dog." For Freedman, this vindictive picture of Rilke provides the "clue" to Rilke's "isolation."
