The irony of a woman/feminist naming her bicycle, a possession, a thing, Gladys should mean something, unless I'm reading too much into her words. But then again, her description of how Gladys was a "mystery" and that she had "mastered" all her kinks and that she put a bridle in her mouth and whipped her in victory...all very masculine language directed towards a female object. Even if that object is an inanimate bicycle, Willard's use of such blatantly gendered language merits some sort of analysis. -schang
