This is a very curious and insightful perspective of womanhood and its inherent psychological profile as well as its societal place. It is a viewpoint colored by relativity seeming to deny permanency in culture. Some of the ideas in this manifesto seem to be not entirely developed. The first paragraph seems good as is; focusing on the idea of sleep as a form of death. This isn't entirely original but the first paragraph is a succinct and creative view of this thought. The other paragraphs are a bit disjointed and wander about a bit and don't seem as connected to the initial paragraph. The second paragraph speaks to the inherent unpredictability of culture and the apparent insanity of the attempt to make sense of it. It switches from the individual viewpoint of the author (not mine to control) over to the insanity of one attempting to make sense of culture as it is impermanent and ever-changing. This may be true but seems to me to be a bit of a logical leap. Philosophically this does seem to be well thought out, simply needs a bit more development from my view. The third paragraph is a commentary on femininity and its dualistic nature. This also appears to have come from a clear-eyed analysis of culture as it stands. I feel this could have been developed (more details and examples of women balancing structure and chaos would be great). The final paragraph concerns the nihilistic vastness of the universe (at least that is the impression). It seems to imply that all actions taken in a small corner of the universe are meaningless. This may be true but the sentences and ideas could flow together a bit better. Neurosis appears to be the uniting principle but some of the statements don't seem to connect together as strongly as they could. That said, the song quote (Sweet Dreams) at the end is a nice touch. Additionally there are a few grammatical and spelling errors but they don't subtract from the overall narrative. This work does provoke thought and overall is a rather cogent description of the insanity of society as demonstrated in particular in women. This is a good commentary and I feel with the addition a few more strengthening examples this would be an even better work.
