[divertissements]

She marks no difference between men and women, she treats them to the same laughter, the same teasing words. Only her tone differs, men liking to shield themselves behind a heavy ego that shan’t bruise or shatter, please, under the sharpness of her commentary. Thus, the directionality of her laughter meets the sexes unequally, yes, because she laughs at men and with women, her sisters in spirit, (her two-way relations, where all roads to the masculine are blind).

Claude may have brothers, but only her flesh is related to any such maleness and the flesh will one day perish.
