I have three daughters. All of them could be considered feminists by the 'literal' definition of the word, but if you were to tell them they were feminists, they wouldn't really understand. Our daughters are fortunate in that they don't really know any other way to be. Woodcock's article is interesting in that she looked for how women referred to their bodies in their writing.

This is a great way to think about that embodied learning because lack of competency is certainly personal, and often has to do with a physical inability to do or to comprehend something - but also by learning, as you said, we become increasingly competent.
