Thank you! Any eloquence I have comes from practise - I’ve always loved writing and criticism even when I was a kid, so I’ve been doing it for long enough that half the time, it’s automatic. The words are just there, I can’t not write them, and once I’m done, I sit and wonder what the hell just happened. I literally lose hours this way, like falling down a rabbit-hole, and have no conscious memory of the time passing - my husband comes in and asks when I’ll be done, I say ten minutes, he goes away, I keep writing, and when he comes back again, I’m angry at him for interrupting before my ten minutes are up, only then he says it’s been over an hour.

As for Freud, I’m sorry to say I don’t know his work in depth, but from what little I’ve read, I’m on board with him being a misogynistic shit. I mean, penis envy? Really?
