“For Hawks, there is only the male and the non-male: in order to be accepted into the male universe, the woman must become a man; alternatively she becomes women-as-phallus (Marylin Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes). This disturbing quality in Hawk’s films relates directly to the presence of woman; she is a traumatic presence which must be negated.” (Johnston 138）

One small liberating moment for me - to be freed from the mainstream audience and look closely to the very nature of female masculinity. Is that female masculinity in disguise of what is truly the very nature of phallocentrism?
