Thoughts as I listen to it...
interview mp3...
First, believable facial hair. Various makeup talk about creating a realistic "5 o'clock shadow".
First, she joins gym, gained shoulder strength, voice coach, baggy clothes.
Joined male bowling league
75 guys, no one suspected.
Gruff, working class guys...
Very frightened (they'll beat me to a pulp!)
But they were very friendly.
What did you learn?
Expected nasty talk about women -- but instead men had reverence for their wives.
Male sexuality -- what you might expect (ubiquitious sexual drive in men)
"more sympathy if we felt it"
Visited strip clubs...
Found that bluster about women, hypersexualtion is a cover.
"Not allowed as a man to express feelings of need or rejection."
Started dating women...
Dating women as a man is much harder than dating women as a woman.
"curtain between us", "a lot of women ... hostile ... " .. but with bowling buddies .. "presumed good guy until proved otherwise (sp?)"
"presumption that I was a cad until proven otherwise ... almost like a prejudious .."
"They found me inadequte... physically, emotionaly ... they wanted me to hold them up, take caer of them, provide for them..." "warrior-minstrel complex" (vs. the whore-madonna") "they want you to be both new-age sensitive guy and also world-spanning collossus"
"went on dates with a man as well" "You're my ideal guy!"
"male sexuality is categorial -- you are expected to go from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds"...
took an emotional toll on her which helped to "assuage her guilt" for deception.
"if you are not a sociopath, you find it very hard to masquarade as another person"
sorry about typoes, this was done while interview was running..
