Presentation of women in AHWOSG

1)'Merediths body is gyrating, her parts becoming bigger, smaller, bigger, smaller'
Talking about her like shes an object, or a piece of meat. derogatory. Repetition, representing how those thoughts are vibrating around his mind. Almost has an effect of it being louder and then quieter.

2)'I expected attractive, single mothers flirting.'
Misconception of what the event is actually for, believes women are only there for his pleasure.
Doesnt allow them individual identity.Is the 'single' lexis foreshadowing to when he cheats on his girlfriend kirsten? By using the verb flirting, instead of 'to flirt with me', hes suggesting that he wants them to make all the effort, whilst he sits back and basks in all of the attention. Are women just another pawn in his game of life? kind of a detachment from women aside from sexual desires.

3)'seen her before... guessed that she's single'
believes women are an open book, predictable, quick and easy to judge them. In saying 'seen her before' if he was a regular at Tophs school, he would've obviously seen the mothers before, shows how new to this he is.

4)'the woman, this one looking at us'
'this one' quite rude lexical phrase, instead of 'this lady' etc, shows lack of respect or care for women.

5)''I wanted to say so many things-that i was actually dating someone else, kirsten, and that what we had done was a mistake'
Him cheating and lying, not really showing respect for women at all. Regrets what he did, but is this just because he's scared he'll get caught? That kirsten will find out? Or maybe he's done this because he wants to break the attachment he has to kirsten, he doesnt want to keep attachments with women because of his mother leaving so suddenly.

6)'i knew she was strong, but then there were these new words coming from her face, these small shadowy words' ... '"no this is good" i said undressing her.'

7)'"raceless"
"genderless"
"youth"
"strength"...
"oceans"
"fire"
"sex"
Our mouths are all over each other.'

8)'i have no idea how i began talking to her, or much of what we said'...'then we were in her bed'             Needs physical attention from women to feel wanted, any deep conversation always leads to sex.
