“being born a woman is my awful tragedy. from the moment i was conceived i was doomed to sprout breasts, ovaries rather than penis, scrotum; to have my whole circle of action, thought/feeling rigidly circumscribed by inescapable feminity. yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors, soldiers, bar room regulars, be a part of a scene, anonomous, listening, recording - all spoiled by the fact that i am a girl, a female always in danger of assault/battery. my consuming interest in men, their lives is misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, as an invitation to intimacy. yet, god, i want to talk to every body i can as deeply as i can. i want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel, to walk freely at night." Sylvia Plath.
