But what I found intriguing was that with the women I'm in the body, and at the same time have a more distant view of the body. I think because I know the anatomy from inside out so well, I can then take back a step and be a bit blase or ironic. And also one can rely on the readers supplying all that knowledge themselves because they're all women, too.

That's true -- though I know women's experience varies, and I worried a bit that what I wrote would contradict someone else's experience, which is not something I worry about when I'm in a male POV.

I'm thinking about the baggage you mention re the girlparts again, and how one might use that baggage in one's favour...?

Oh, how interesting!

I suppose if you wrote it a lot -- if the whole community wrote it a lot -- some of those words would just get reclaimed. Before I was involved in slash, 'fuck' as a verb sounded aggressive and even violent to me, and now I just take it as a simple descriptive.

But to actually use the punch-in-the-gut impact that a word like 'cunt' has in English ... hm. But how? Did you have thoughts?
