I don't know about this patriarchal theory, for some yes, but we still get a lot of ick from women, including feminist. I think it may be closer to the fact that it not the norm, and sticks out, like fingernails on a chalk board. An incongruity, maybe like hitting an off key note. But Stravinsky shows us how the discordant can resolve into harmony, so there is still hope for us.
BTW Michelle, who wouldn't want to try your shoes on? They're fabulous![]()
