Meanwhile, some of thefield’s fundamental questions continue to abide: Is queer an identity? An orientation? A method? Apractice of reading, seeing, or hearing?
I think that not all people who like the same sex necessarily define themselves with the identity of "queer" or "homosexuality".So for me, I want to use "sexual preference" instead of "sexual orientation", because "orientation" is an identity that defines "who you are", and "preference" is an act or tendency you can choose freely.
Each suburban wife struggled with it alone. Asshe made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut buttersandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside herhusband at night -- she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question -- "Is this all?"
This makes me feel the decadent and powerless feeling of women, especially those who become mothers. This conveys me that suburban wife have a low sense of value at which they begin their lives by losing themselves. Even if they arrange their life in order, they still can't find their own direction. They repeat "work" with low technicality, which is swallowing women's enthusiasm and killing their minds. Everyday is submerged by the trivia of life, they tend to feel that their heart is more nowhere to place, and more confused and struggled. This makes them realize that they have gradually lost themselves in trivial life, because the focus of life is always home and children. This really makes me sad and reminds me of my mother who is greatest woman in the world for me.
