[UA] The WECHBY and the MWHWYSH

[Chad Underkoffler]

Hidey-ho. 

TO reiterate a point re archetypes which jumped up at me during
this sexism discussion...


[The Woman Everybody Can Have But You]
Sometimes you Ascend because you fit the role
perfectly. The implication I get is that the 
Naked Godess probably didn't see herself that 
way-- it was the way all of her fans (and the
universe) saw her, and she typified it so 
well that she Ascended. I believe the similiar
Archetype that being vied for by Alex Able was 
"The Man Who Has What You Should Have." (or 
possibly, according to another interpretation,
"The White Black Man," but I think that's a 
false trail. The WECHBY and the MWHWYSH are 
sides of the same coin: a sense of entitlement
and envy. In the former, the target is being
actively withheld; in the latter, it's been
*stolen* from you. Hmmm. Perhaps it *is* the
best of all possible worlds-- which is better
feeling excluded, or feeling *wronged?*)
