LAWRENCE, THE VIRGIN AND THE GYPSY, A RECONSIDERATION.
For too many years feminist criticism has focused on Lawrence’s obsession with male sexuality and his neglect of heroines who too often are mere mirrors for the dominant male ego. These represent genuine difficulties, especially for the feminist reader, but if we allow Lawrence this bias, we see that he has much to teach us about male-female relationships, especially at this stage of our development.
The demand by feminists for the so-called ‘New Man’ who should equal the woman in his caring and emotional nature has produced serious consequences. One of these is the backlash from men who cannot or will not conform to this new stereotype of behaviour, men who are inadequate or psychologically unfit. But there are also men, of a different sort, who cannot conform to the weakness and femininity of the ‘New Man’. These are men who prize their assertiveness, their right to protect and defend their family, who insist on their difference
... from women – not their sameness.MoreLess
