"To the men, a woman’s nakedness
is “a nakedness beyond mere nudity.”
Being naked does unnerve the men: it is an ordeal; and being looked at is nearly a terror. The men seem to distract themselves from their own nakedness by looking at women in an abstracting or fetishizing way; the voyeurism, the displaced
excitement, puts the physical reality of their own nakedness into a dimension of numbed abstraction." — Oct 07, 2026 06:01AM

"“We knew when it was important to organize one's entire life around nap time and when to acknowledge that a little missed sleep did not portend the crack of doom and it was better to wheel the stroller into a café and have a drink with a girlfriend…Such was the wisdom of the elders.”" — Sep 11, 2026 09:13AM
