Jung and the rest, must have never found what they were looking for by
not including woman. The Soul, to me, is ALL Inclusive. Simple and true.
Men have always had the advantage of education and being published. Even in art etc.. Getting better now. Women doing most jobs a man can do and more excepted. Not totally
About reading men or women. In these days, do you think it's different with the people changing their SEX? Just a thought.
Didn't Jung and Freud love the same woman?
I do read more women, but some men. Maybe they're in touch with their feminine side??????
I found out that Jung revered the feminine archetype so much that he put it (the anima) in every man! Yes, what you say, about which sex a person is today, even for middle-schoolers ... a confusion that perhaps makes the man/woman question meaningless once and for all. Thanks for your interesting thoughts on this, Cindy.
Having read, for the most part, only male authors until college, I decided at 22 to only read female authors until I reached parity! While I’ve relaxed that standard somewhat, it is a rarity for me to read a female character written by a male that seems authentic. Isn’t it funny (not) how The Great Books were all written by men?
Morrison, you open up a huge discussion, about the Great Books. And it's interesting that I'm not alone in being conscious of an author's gender. There's so much to say about this!
WOW! Lots to talk about on this one.
