It's the sort of thing that makes it hard for me to imagine any world in which women, at least as a group, don't always lose.

The first time I read "Leaves of Grass," it was from a humanist copy in which all of the pronouns had been changed to "hus" and "hum," and, having no experience with Whitman at all, an this being the content of Leaves of Grass, I didn't give it more than a second thought. In fact, I'll admit that I didn't even know such pronoun variants existed. It turns out I was the only one in the class with that copy (I can never manage to understand the college bookstore), and everyone else had the copies with standard pronouns. I just remember being very confused at the idea, and rather the sound of it. The idea was interesting, and it actually worked in BoG, but still. My pre-programmed brain.
