Thanks Tomoffing
As mentioned above the play device is Brechtian V-effect, intended to alienate the reader into focusing on what is there, and not what they expect to be there. Also it serves as a simple way of establishing who is speaking. I understand that it is confusing, with it being scene 3, having props in a poem etc but that is all part of the alienation process
The body referred to is the state.
The Patriarchy thing is a little joke on the feminist tendency towards sophistry, i.e History being split into His-Story supposedly to write women out. Patriarchy can be accused of many things by creating anarchy in women's lives is an oxymoron.
And the repetition of pleasure is because that is the case she is making, to deny men the pleasure of women's clothing.
I take on board your comments and appreciate your feedback.
