I follow a tweet called "@men_write_women." It's a series of samples from authors and readers who have read books about women or that include women written by male authors. Usually the posts are ridiculous writing of women by men.
Last nights post was especially strange. in face when I showed it to my wife she said "That's the strangest thing I've ever read."
The passage from last night was:
Standing in the middle of the bedroom, we take off each other's clothes.
He has a light, fumbling brutality, which several times makes me think that this time it'll cost me my sanity. In our dawning, mutual intimacy, I induce him to open the little slit in the head of his penis so I can put my clitoris inside and fuck him.
Not sure what a "light, fumbling brutality" is. Sounds to me like a contradiction. A "heavy, fumbling brutality," sure I can see that. "A thick, fumbling brutality," also sounds plausible. but a "light" one I don't get.
Then there's the "It'll cost me my sanity" line. Why? In what way does a "light fumbling brutality" lead to a loss of sanity?
Finally there's the absurd idea of being able to open the slit of a penis to allow a clitoris in to fuck it. Ludicrous. I don't even think it's possible and I can't imagine it would be enjoyable in the least.
I think my wife had it right . . . strangest thing I've ever read.
