Kerima Polotan's "The Virgin" reflects how a woman communicates with the opposite sex. As a virgin who hasn't been in an intimate relationship with a man, Ms. Mijares puts up a distance with a carpenter.
In the story, you could see how the author describes the two: Ms. Mijares as slim and frail-looking while the carpenter as taut and strong. In short, there is a partial discrimination between the two. Patriarchal language is evident.
