the most threatening opening

“Substituting one orifice for the other, as Margo Glantz would say, the mouth was and continues to be the most threatening opening of the feminine body: it can eventually express what shouldn’t be expressed, reveal the hidden desire, unleash the menacing differences which upset the core of the phallogocentric, paternalistic discourse.”

– Valenzuela, Luisa in her work “Dirty Words” published in The Review of Contemporary Fiction
