At least, if C is fixated on one particular person, she's less likely to take up with any old jerk that comes along.luolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00213308635831376287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-73952528561658016682007-05-18T15:17:00.000-04:002007-05-18T15:17:00.000-04:00I don't know why, but it's immensely enjoyable to ...I don't know why, but it's immensely enjoyable to read about your spring cleaning. <BR/><BR/>Re. C (since I said in comments that she seemed stalker-ish): what's disturbing about the collage thing is that it *isn't* totally crazy, in our culture. Women are often encouraged to engage in such desperately obvious man-seeking. Witness sitcoms through the ages, where all women over thirty (or younger) are frantic for husbands, and all kinds of bizarrely obsessive behavior--which would be perceived as scary if engaged in by men--are indulged, or even framed as normal. It's offensive and upsetting. In some ways, C just seems to be participating in a pretty mainstream construction of female behavior. And, to agree with your earlier post, it seems clearly related to the pervasive fantasy of the "soul mate."*<BR/><BR/>*(I happen to be in an excellent relationship with a splendid person, and I have no idea what a "soul mate" is. So I'm convinced that it doesn't exist.)<BR/><BR/>Okay, that's enough from me. Keep cleaning!heu mihihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08529298049179816825noreply@blogger.com
