Your post made me thing of an interesting concept I heard today – “there is no gender free interaction”. I can’t really explain in depth what that means but it made me think about the vulgarity in Tropic of Cancer and how the reactions of males versus females are typically different. Obviously, the content of the book is from a male’s perspective and that perspective has a jaded view on females. Males seem to be less offended by the book, in my opinion. So what if Tropic of Cancer were written by a woman and was about a woman traveling in Paris and having her way with various man-whores (to quote EG)? Would the reverse be true? Would us males be more offended by the content of the book and females less offended? Probably not, we are pretty shameless, but still it’s an interesting idea.
