Women and motorbikes

Question 1

dissolves

Answer 1

gets weaker.
When you dissolve something you make it less strong.

I think it dissolves gender, race, all these things stop mattering. It’s all about experience so car drivers, there’s a lot about enjoying the internal space of the car, on the bike obviously there’s no interiority. You’re completely part of the exterior world.

Question 2

mattering

Answer 2

being important.
If something doesn’t matter, it’s not important at all.

I think it dissolves gender, race, all these things stop mattering. It’s all about experience so car drivers, there’s a lot about enjoying the internal space of the car, on the bike obviously there’s no interiority. You’re completely part of the exterior world.

Question 3

interiority (uncommon word)

Answer 3

the quality of being inside.
That’s the experience of being inside - but I do have to say although that is a real word, it’s not one I’ve ever heard or used before!

Question 4

empowered

Answer 4

with the ability, skill and strength to control your own life.
empowered woman ,This is a character who has authority, who has the power to drive the plot and action and is not dependent on a man to make decisions for her.

Generally there’s three types. So the first type would be your typical empowered female who’s on the motorbike. You do have that image but having said that I would also add that those images appear typically very sexualised, very stylised. So yes she’s empowered but she’s in a skintight catsuit.

Question 5

sexualised

Answer 5

made to look sexually appealing.
presented in a way that might be sexually appealing for a male audience.

I would also add that those images appear typically very sexualised, very stylised. So yes she’s empowered but she’s in a skintight catsuit. You also get another type which is the female rider but who’s been masculinised. She’s kind of embodying a very masculine kind of style. And I think the third type is kind of silly, giggly female on a scooter.

Question 6

embodying

Answer 6

showing the true characteristics of something.

You also get another type which is the female rider but who’s been masculinised. She’s kind of embodying a very masculine kind of style. And I think the third type is kind of silly, giggly female on a scooter.

They embody male characteristics, which means they have and demonstrate many typically male personality features.
