 Other of Young’s essays, for example, “Pregnant Embodiment” (1984), “Breasted Experience” (2005, but a shorter version in 1992) and “Menstrual Meditations” (2005a), focus on distinctive aspects of female embodiment that yield distinct ways of being in the world. Here the stress is not only on inhibited intentionality. There is also recognition that such experiences can offer alternative possibilities for embodied engagement that can be positive as well as negative. In her accounts Young stresses that it is such everyday ordinary experiences of embodiment, variable as they are, that constitute women’s sense of their identity as women. Young develops this insight in a discussion of Moi’s suggestion that we should replace categories of both sex and gender with the category of the lived body. Moi (1999) suggests that the category of the lived body can capture the way material features of our bodies play a role in our subjective sense of self, without giving a reductionist, biological account of such embodiment.
