"I am gregarious.
Interested in others.
And I think, intelligent.
All I ask is to get to know people
and to have them interested
in knowing me.
I doubt whether I would marry again
and live that close
to another individual,
but I remain invisible.
Don't pretend for a minute
as you look at me,
that I am not as alive as you are,
and I do not suffer from the category
to which you are forcing me.
I think, stripped down,
I look more attractive
than my ex-husband...
...but I am sexually and socially obsolete
and he is not.
I have a capacity now for
taking people as they are,
which I lacked at 20.
I reach orgasm in half the time
and I know how to please,
yet I do not even dare show a man
that I find him attractive.
If I do, he may react
as if I have insulted him.
I'm supposed to fulfill my small functions
and vanish."
Well...
What do you think of all that?
I don't know. Maybe I'm a feminist.
So...
You think that's me.
No, I don't know.
So you think you know me better
because you read that?
No, no.
Then why are you reading it to me?
Um, I thought it was interesting.
Okay, well...
I... I don't need a book
to know about myself.
Sorry.
I mean, I appreciate you trying to help.
I do. I just think
you're taking it too far.
