Virgin's Memo thread #femininegospelsfest x.com/FeminineGospel…

For those of you doing option 2 (it is option 2, yeah? HMT vs FG) this is an absolute beauty of a tweet. Works especially wonderfully for Helen and Cleopatra; could be really perceptive for Monroe depending on your reading of that section; Diana...who can work that in?

The Diet thread

The Woman Who Shopped thread, complete with me having called it TWHS throughout for some reason best known to my treacherous fingers. (Gazes accusingly at fingers)

Loud thread

Sub thread

A great thread (I've just lost the first tweet of it) on Streetcar vs FG

Spent my day finding all the places my 11s had hidden pictures of Moto Moto on the way out the room... One was blutacked under my coffee cup. I swear I was holding that the whole time.

We have been rubbish this year (life) but here is a bout of retweeting ready for the exam tomorrow. Make the question work for you and remember, remember the examiners report about NOT just trying to shoehorn in an answer to a previous mock paper in. Good luck!

Motherhood leaves woman "riveted to her body" - a situation that allows male dominance to be compounded. De Beauvoir, The Second Sex (1949) Apply to Cord / Light Gatherer...

Lacan, The Mirror Stage (1949) We begin as an "hommelette". 6 - 18 months old see reflections of ourselves in adult responses. This becomes our "exterior" image of ourselves. Alientation and division are engrained in ourselves from infancy. Adulthood becomes quest for inner unity

We spend our lives trying and failing to make ourselves whole. The Woman Who Shopped, Map Woman etc. x.com/FeminineGospel…
