Ladies ladies ladies!

I hate to addmit it but I'm going to have to agree whole heartedly with John Leland on the subject of women vs. Hip. Women's role in the Hip culture has always been rather minimal to begin with, in turn leaving them little room to climb the Hip ladder into greatness. However, I am not totally excluding the idea of women, I'm just saying that in my own opinion they do not fit the Hip mold of people. Women tend to have a realists sense of time, identity, and social expectations, where as their male counter parts tend to be the total opposite. Men of great Hipness tend to reject the normalacy of life's schedules, and expectations by rejecting time, space, identity, and social norms as a whole. Men are very good at isolating what exactly makes them hip, where as women tend to fall into the realm of Hip, and fade away as time goes on, a bigger, better male Hipster takes there place. I believe Hip is a male dominated play ground, because the real OGs of Hip, were all men. I also think that the Hipsters of yesteryear would be inclined to agree with Leland, and I. I suppose in the sense of coming to terms with our lack of estrogen, and feminine appeal in the story, one might just accept it as is, and not dote upon it too much. Hip is not something women can just take a hold of like the right to be in the military, and be granted access to eventually. Hip is an elitest club, that without the consent of other male Hipsters, no one should expect to join, thus closing the door on female Hipsters all together.
