AB  - Questions the assumptions of female sexual desire surrounding the dark lady of Shakespeare's sonnets and the fallen woman in "A Lover's Complaint." Asserts that "the stigma attached to female promiscuity is not only prohibitive but also productive. And what it produces may be the possibility of hierarchy, dominance, and inequality that, for the speaker of the Sonnets at least, are precisely what make men men, women women, and sex sexy."
