Today is the Fryes’ wedding anniversary: their fifth in 1942 and their thirteenth in 1950.<\/em><\/p>\n

1942<\/span><\/strong>: <\/em><\/p>\n

A bad double feature at the movies\u00a0(Through Different Eyes<\/a> and Rings on Her Fingers<\/a>)\u00a0— complete with annoying gender stereotypes — leaves Frye in a mood to address “the war of the sexes”:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0[77] People are human beings first and men and women afterwards. Their bodily functions are different; their environments are different, though the difference in this century has been greatly decreased. So there may be generalizations of the ‘men are like this<\/em> whereas women are like that’ <\/em>kind which may have some hazy and approximate truth. I don’t know. Men’s conversation is more abstract & less personal than women’s, but whether that’s an accident of training or an essential sexual trait I don’t know. I do know that the kind of mind that thinks along these lines of facile anitheses is a dull & tiresome mind. It betrays a fixation on sex-differences which is mere adolescence, & in an adult unhealthy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

1950<\/span><\/strong>: A very hot day of shopping in Boston.\u00a0Then an anniversary dinner:<\/em><\/p>\n

[570] We went to the Bella Vista for dinner, which Dick Ellmann<\/a> had recommended as the best place in town, but it wasn’t any hell — not nearly as good as the Viennese place.\u00a0However, it was all right, though we were outdoors on a roof under an umbrella, and I’d have done better in an air-conditioned interior [because of hay fever]. Beside us was a young man who’d just got his Ph.D and was celebrating. His conversation got louder with his drinks & was a mixture of of cultural & personal remarks that, considered as a pattern, gave me quite an insight into the Harvard level of student sophistication, though it’s difficult to say just what it was.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
