D: haha
"in rational subjection to the man"
classy

J: what does denuding a husband of his appropriate symbols of masterdom involve?
castration?

D: "the woman who aspires to denude her husband of his appropriate symbols of masterdom"
AHAHAH
I was just about to say that!

J: great minds, D_____, great minds

D: for me, castration is an anxiety; for you, an aspiration

J: sign #1 that the institution of marriage is in trouble: enough wives aspire to castrate their husbands that the fact makes it into a treatise on noses

D: the paragraph between 109 and 110 is even worse btw

J: I am pretty sure that Mr Jabet would have strong words for the woman who aspired to castration by sword-- clearly meddling in the domain of the warrior... better to go with the cleaver on that one
