Re: 130
(Anonymous) 2009-02-16 03:19 am (UTC)(link)On to business. My issue with your insistence on Mulan's androgyny lies in this - Mulan is a young woman. She is not subject to some form of gender dysphoria, she simply isn't invested in her society's notion of what it is to be female. She has her own notion of what it is to be female - and her path to that revelation includes straying from strict gender binary-based expectations. But she is still a young woman, and identifies as one. Mulan is a non-traditional, uppity female, but she identifies as a female still and has no issue with her femaleness apart from its use as a reason to keep her at home, with all that entails. The compromise she finds has, I believe, more to do with the notion of "being herself" than her having bridged or conquered the idea of gender binary dictated behavior.
I suppose at the root of it, I don't feel that "androgyny" can be expressed as "not particularly girly". Not being girly is simply one expression of femaleness. Being girly is another. Being somewhere in between is another still. There is no way in which someone who identifies as a woman is not womanly. However she is doing it, she is doing it right.
Just my two cents, I suppose! Thanks for your time and thoughts.
Re: 130 (LOL I CAN USE DICTIONARY.COM. GO ME.)
–adjective
1. being both male and female; hermaphroditic.
2. having both masculine and feminine characteristics.
3. having an ambiguous sexual identity.
4. neither clearly masculine nor clearly feminine in appearance: the androgynous look of many rock stars.
I think Mulan can easily be considered androgynous by the 2nd and 4th definitions. But that's just me. :\
