Ok, now. To make all this a little more interesting, I suggest, we change 
the metaphor. If some self appointed "list-reformers" or revolutionaries or 
whatever they believe themselves to be keep insistinng on comparing women 
made of flesh and blood to wooden boxes, how about calling them a "coffin" 
instead. A coffin and it's carrier, directing the lady's spirit inside that 
box to the graveyard in the hall of famed feminists.
Give this tiresome discussion a new direction and see if I might start 
reading this stuff again.
So, we have the carrier and his beloved coffin, moving her/it determinedly 
in the direction he wants her to go, whether she likes it or not, as this is 
not really the point here anyway, right?

Astrid, having reached a kind of gothic mood...
