Not sure
I don't really understand the feminism view on literature that well. I don't see how some words can be masculine and some feminine. I don't understand how a whole literary work could be considered feminine unless it was something discussing feminism. I'm not really sure about the whole concept of feminist discourse or masculine for that matter. How can you give a peice of literature a sex? I understand different points of view but it's not clear how it can be categorized as one or the other.

chad, try to think of writing as if it were professional sports. the line of reasoning goes- a woman cannot do it better than a man does it. women can still do it, but essentially it is a "man's sport". in the same way writing is a "man's sport". if you consider that our reality is textual, a major tenet of theory, then like james brown said, "it's a man world!"
