[lit-ideas] Teemu's Hypothesis Tested (Was: "Doff Thy Name")

Teemu has discovered 'gendered' writing. He claims a woman (who will
remain anoymous) wrote,
"And then all the black men were missing their wives".
Teemu claims that's 'inverosimile' regarding
'all the ... men' in general
'all the _black_ men' in particular.
Anyway, ditto, I claim for Juliet,
"Romeo, doff thy name, Romeo"
I claim that is no ladylike thing to say back in Elizabethan times. It was
_written_, hocus pocus, by ... Shakespeare!
Cheers,
JL
