etc.; left is linear, conceptual, analytical; simiar to “animal” vs
“machine”. The book seems to say (from comments) that the
right hem. can only be accessed through a left hem.(goal oriented) agenda. Like a patiarchal society saying “of course women have power-we gave it to them!” Are we so estranged from ourselves that life must be translated for us? Are we ever outside of now?

]]> Comment on Gentlemen by Kt Barnes http://penguinunearthed.wordpress.com/2010/04/03/gentlemen/#comment-21970 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:04:36 +0000 http://penguinunearthed.wordpress.com/?p=752#comment-21970 I am a paralegal and my boss is 91 years old. Every time he dictates a letter to me addressing a position or company where the recipient is unknown, he has me put “Gentlemen” if it is a position historically held by a male and “Ladies” if it is historically held by a women. For example, I am currently writing to the “Government of External Affairs of India”. He is having me address it as “Dear Gentlemen”. If, however, I were writing to a lowly secretary or clerk, he would have me address it as “Dear Ladies”. I know he is an old fart and doesn’t get just how offensive he is being, but it still drives me up the wall. One time I tried to correct it by using “Dear Sir or Madam” and he actually called me on it and had me change it to “Dear Gentlemen”. I almost quit right there on the spot, but unfortunately I need this job too bad-to top it off, I recently asked for a raise and was denied. I guarantee I make less than any other paralegal in the area–probably because he doesn’t feel that someone with a vagina is ‘worthy’ of making a living wage. However, I do a spectacular job for his old, shriveled, incompetent, behind the times dick. I have a huge amount of resentment towards him, can you tell?
