the surgical deconstruction of virginity
is she speaking of the ohysical act of virtue/virginty? Does she speak about virginity becasue; she is a radical in a time when women have no real voice or opinions or pehaps better would be to say that they did not have the audience or oprtunity to actually voice their opinions. She speaks perhaps about virginity and virtue because women have sole ownership over their virginity and virtue. Women are the only people who can speak truthfully and openly about the topic. She is speaking of a radical topic- woemn loosing their virginity and virtue and not caring about the consequences etc. She is being a radicla thinker ina time when women dont have the real and capticve audience that they have today, as formentioned, to be heard. So, therefore, she speaks of something so radical, that people can help but listen to what she has to say.
