The humor of this piece makes one wonder what the typically fanatical feminist might do with various Rohrschach inkblots; probably all of the random splotches of ink would yield the same response.
On the tried-and-trite trope of the rhetorical glass question, I recall having an epiphany when I was about 19 years old: “Why, of course, it’s both…!” That experience of apperception probably explains why not long after that I was so immediately receptive to Eric Voegelin’s revival of the classic sense of metaxy.
Let me give you an old joke about that:
A psychologist testing a feminist with association drawings. First he showing a triangle. A man raping a women in a tent~ answers a feminist. Then the doctor shows a circle.

It’s a bed where a man raping a women.
The psychologist can’t take it anymore: tell me he says you always seeing women getting raped? I can’t help it says the feminist, you always showing me such obscene drawings.
