Unsex me here... →[More:]
Lady Macbeth: Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full Of direst cruelty! make thick my blood;
Stop up the access and passage to remorse, That no compunctious visitings of nature Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between
The effect and it! Come to my woman's breasts, And take my milk for gall,...

Shakespeare, W. Macbeth, 1:5

Just felt like sharing. Carry on as you were.

It's wonderful. Give me the strenght of a murderous man. Similar to Portia in Julius Ceasar "I have given myself a voluntary wound, here on the thigh."

He wrote good women. Ok, written for men, yeah, but that tradition changed.

And the comic heroines have agency too.

Dude, Rainbaby, you so broke it down with the theater-speak just now:

Way to make a thespian-type feller all kinds of oogly-moogly.

I actually think it's more like 'take away my tender, nurturing womanly qualities.'
