There is no female mind.
The brain is not an organ of sex.
Might as well speak of a female liver.

we may as well say
there is no such thing as a female body

we may as well say the brain is the mind

the endocrine system is
indistiguishable across the divide of male and female

reading only schematically into charlotte's life is evidence enough
her philosophy was slightly skewed
