As West notes, "The dominant myths draw black women and men either as threatening creatures who have the potential for sexual power over whites, or as harmless, desexed underlings of a white culture" (119). In his love letters to Angelina Grimke in 1838, Theodore Dwight Weld did something one would not expect from a man courting a woman: he repeatedly desexed his fiance in his rhetoric (and at moments even imaginatively remade her into a man) by conflating her with a male friend of his, Charles Stuart. Deneuve, who often looks handsome in her Jean Paul Gaultier getups, kisses her De Merteuil with icy cool, but a distracted and desexed bitch on wheels is a contradiction in terms and hardly what the job description requires. |
