stereotypes attached to them. For example, most people think of tramps as
being dangerous. About that Orwell says:
"Quite apart from experience, one can say a priori that very few tramps are

dominated culture, the values privileged in women include silence and
subordination. Ginny is acceptable as a woman as long as she remains
"oblivious" (121). She is allowed to disagree with men, contingent upon
her doing so without fighting (104). Ultimately, her opinion as a woman
remains irrelevant. Ginny remarks, "of course it was silly to talk about
'my po int of view.' When my father asserted his point of view, mine
vanished" (176). When she makes the "mistake" of crossing her father, she
