There's that wonderful quotation from Sylvia Plath where she describes the way living as a woman stifles an adventurous spirit and her longing for a male experience. - [Narrator] "Yes, my consuming desire is to mingle "with road crews, sailors and soldiers, barroom regulars "to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording "all this is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, "a female always supposedly in danger "of assault and battery. "My consuming interest in men and their lives is often "misconstrued as a desire to seduce them "or as an invitation to intimacy. "Yes, God, I want to talk to everybody as deeply as I can. "I want to be able to sleep in an open field, "to travel west, to walk freely at night."
