Confessions of a Female Chauvinist Sow

Author:ANNE ROIPHE

Background

Anne Roiphe is an author and journalist whose works include Digging Out(1967),Up the Sandbox (1970),and Long Division(1972).In the following essay she works against the grain of feminism. Her argument,however,is not a defense of the traditional view of women.Consider as you read, exactly what Roiphe is arguing and what kind of evidence she calls upon.

1I once married a man I thought was totally unlike my father and I imagined a whole new world of freedom emerging.Five years later it was clear even to me-floating face down in a wash of despair-that I had simply chosen a replica of my handsome daddy-true.The updated version spoke English like an angel but-good God!-underneath he was my father exactly:wonderful,but not the right man for me.

2Most people I know have at one time or another been fouled up by their childhood experiences. Patterns tend to sink into the unconscious only to reappear,disguised,unseen,like marionette strings,pulling us this way or that.\Vhatever ails people-keeps them up at night,tossing and turning-also ails movements no matter how historically huge or politically important.The women's movement cannot remake consciousness,or reshape the future,without acknowledging and shedding all the unnecessary and ugly baggage of the past.It's easy enough now to see where men have kept us out of clubs,baseball games,graduate schools;it's easy enough to recognize the hidden directions that limit Sis to cake-baking and Junior to bridge-building;it's now possible for even Miss America herself to identify what they have done to us,and,of course,they have and they did and they are....But along the way we also developed our own hidden prejudices,class assumptions and an anti-male humor and collection of expectations that gave us,like all oppressed groups,a secret sense of superiority(co-existing with a poor self-image-it's not news that people can believe two contradictory things at once)s.
