LOS ANGELES - Norah Vincent, britka kolumnistica Los Angeles Timesa, odlučila se maskirati u muškarca i uvući se u muški svijet da vidi kako se ponaša i što radi "jači spol" kad žene nisu u blizini.



O zanimljivih 18 mjeseci, koliko je provela kao muškarac pod imenu Ned, Vincent je napisala knjigu "Self-Made Man" koja je ovih dana objavljena u SAD-u.

Muško poštovanje



Ali, umjesto da se obračuna s muškarcima, kako se možda očekivalo od kolumnistice koja je inače i prakticirajuća lezbijka, Vincent je svojom knjigom šokirala Ameriku. Vincent tvrdi da muškarci nisu uopće onakvi kakvima ih žene zamišljaju, da im je mnogo teže u životu nego što se misli i da muškarci i žene žive u "paralelnim svjetovima".



Na ideju da se pretvori u muškarca Vincent je došla nakon TV emisije u kojoj je troje ljudi promijenilo spol na jedan dan. Uz pomoć prijatelja transvestita, podšišala je kosu, od vlasi izradila "jednodnevnu" bradu da izgleda uvjerljivo, spljoštila grudi sportskim grudnjakom, vježbama razvila mišiće ramena i ruku, kupila novu garderobu, nabavila umjetni penis i nazvala se Ned.



Ned je složenost muškog prijateljstva proučavao na kuglanju, gdje se upoznao s trojicom radnika. Nedovi novi prijatelji katkad se ponašaju stereotipno muški, ali Vincent je zadivljena njihovom dobroćudnošću, odsutnošću rasizma, time kako se trude da mu pomognu svladati kuglanje i "apsolutnim poštovanjem s kojim su govorili o svojim suprugama".

Oktave osjećaja



Vincent je kao Ned izlazila i sa ženama te ju je šokirala količina ženske hladnoće i nadmoćnosti s kojom se suočavaju heteroseksualni muškarci. A najviše od svega šokiralo ju je kako muškarcima nije dopušteno izražavati emocije. "Kad ste muškarac, imate raspon emocija od otprilike tri tona. Žene imaju na raspolaganju oktave, kromatske ljestvice suza, radosti i tjeskobe", piše Vincent, koju je tako zgrozio ženski odnos prema muškarcima da je privremeno postala "ženomrzac".




Na kraju svojeg putovanja kao muškarac izvršila je samoubistvo jer nije mogla da podnese ulogu muškarca i bude u njoj.

Sto znaci da ne treba nista uzeti za ozbiljno od takve labilne osobe

[Mutevelija]

Pa nije bila labilna kad je pisala to, kasnije tek je postala

Znači da je teško njoj kao ženi biti u ulozi muškarca .

Trịnh Thị Ngọ ([ṯɕïŋ˧ˀ˨ʔ tʰi˧ˀ˨ʔ ŋɔ˧ˀ˨ʔ]; 1931 – 30 September 2016), also known as Thu Hương and Hanoi Hannah, was a Vietnamese radio personality best known for her work during the Vietnam War, when she made English-language broadcasts for North Vietnam directed at United States troops.[1]




During the Vietnam War, Ngọ became famous among US soldiers for her broadcasts on Radio Hanoi. Ngọ wrote the scripts alongside the People's Army of Vietnam, then translated them into English. They were intended to frighten and shame the soldiers into leaving their posts. She made three broadcasts a day, reading a list of newly killed or imprisoned Americans, and playing popular US anti-war songs in an effort to incite feelings of nostalgia and homesickness, attempting to persuade US GIs that the US involvement in the Vietnam War was unjust and immoral.[1] US Navy ships and personnel were also targeted in her broadcasts, with Ngọ reading out the names of crew members and saying that they were all going to die.[5] She also received and played recorded messages from Americans who were against the war, saying later that she thought these messages were the most effective of all as "Americans will believe their own people rather than the adversary".[6]

A January 1966 Newspaper Enterprise Association article by Tom Tiede described the program:

Hannah's shows are invariably the same. After the news is an editorial denouncing U.S. escalation of the war. Then a recording by an Asian soprano who sounds as if she's having her ears pierced. Then, Mailbag Time ('write us for the truth, friends').[7]

One of her typical broadcasts began as follows:

How are you, GI Joe? It seems to me that most of you are poorly informed about the going of the war, to say nothing about a correct explanation of your presence over here. Nothing is more confused than to be ordered into a war to die or to be maimed for life without the faintest idea of what's going on.[8]

Few if any desertions are thought to have happened because of her work[9] and the soldiers "hooted at her scare tactics".[3] They were sometimes impressed, however, when she mentioned the correct location of their unit (when they would "give a toast to her and throw beer cans at the radio"), named US casualties and welcomed Navy ships into port with their correct arrival details and crew members' names.[5][9] There were exaggerated legends of her omniscience, with rumors that she would give clues about everything from specific future PAVN attacks to soldiers' girlfriends cheating on them at home.[9] In reality, most of her information came from publications such as the US military newspaper, Stars and Stripes.[3][9]
