Speak Club
If we aren’t who we want to be, can we assume the identity of another and find solace in the duality? As long as you do not talk about Fight Club you can. The Alfa male and the lesser male- yet the same male. The glory of man code. Which got me to thinking is there a Fight Club for women? If so, what is it called? Is the character of duality a soft spoken charming girl and a punch throwing bitch. I think not. I believe that she may be a soft spoken charming girl, upholding a classic trait of femininity while at the same time she punches with her tongue, not her fist. Women fight in spoken word, not with a geared fist. Women get out their aggression attacking with a silver tongue not a powerful punch. So again, what would Fight Club be called for women? Is there different divisions seeking Mayhem? Would that Mayhem be? Setting fire to the cosmetic counter at Macy’s? Perhaps it would be cutting the thong backs in half at Victoria Secret? Or maybe it would be launching a real beauty campaign as did Dove? Going against the grain, speaking independently, thinking freely- empowerment in the release of the day’s stresses. Again, spoken word not a geared fist is how a woman can create mayhem. Spoken word is how she can get the attention of others- she goes against the grain of the traditional feminine stalk. She speaks up, she is not spoken to. This is how she fights. Think about it, the first rule of Speak Club is you don’t talk about Speak Club. The second Rule of Speak Club is you don’t talk about Speak Club. The third rule of Speak Club is two women per word. The fourth rule about Speak Club is one word at a time. The fifth rule of Speak Club is no monologues, no silence in the speaking. The sixth rule of Speak Club is the words go on as long as they have to. There has been a pattern here, if any of you have noticed with a few of the writers lately, duality in self…….. James Tiptree Jr. - actually a female, her name is Alice Bradley Sheldon. Ann Rice has written sado-masochistic erotica under the name of A.N. Roquelaure. With that being said, would a soft spoken female speak of a girl plugged in or about satisfying pleasure pain? Think about, Speak Club. The good news is that more than likely women will not be doomed to a life of lunch served on a tray and meds in a plastic cup. Women will be doomed to a life of being called a bitch, a dike and engaging on the upward battle of releasing their aggression per status quo for girls are spoken to, they do not speak up.
