"(for 'father' was not so much obscene as- with its connotation of something at one remove from the loathsomeness and moral obliquity of child- bearing -- merely gross, a scatological rather than a pornographic impropriety)" pg 151
This syntax and diction combination is so over my head. I think I know half of those words. I find it to be humorous at this point. The quote might be the most intellectual and hurtful bash on a group of people that I have ever seen. If I were to tell my dad this he probably wouldn't get it either, but he'd understand enough to be furious with me. Yes, the mother is more visibly involved in child bearing, but fathers are by no means pornographic. Being a father entails a lot of complex emotion, but I guess these sorry excuses for people wouldn't understand that either. I'm a proud daddy's girl. My dad is a huge factor in my life, and not in a humorous aspect. I feel a strong needto find this Centre and slap every one of these people. This book cannot possibly get me any more frustrated as I am right now.
