Però lo guardiamo attraverso le lenti della nostra cultura, ne disponiamo secondo le movenze che abbiamo assorbito nella quotidianità e lo viviamo attraverso codici emotivi che abbiamo appreso già dall'infanzia. Non solo: a seconda del genere al quale apparteniamo, mostriamo le emozioni in modo distinto, assumiamo differenti controlli corporei, ci cuciamo addosso ruoli diversi.

They’re working harder year upon year not to get ahead but merely to stay apace. For them, the American dream appears to be slipping farther and farther away.
