That seems less like a plothole and more like a bad societal norm on Tattooine . <| sep |> Sure , grammar is something I need improvement on . lol , you ' re right knights weren ' t female except in a few specific cases . Knightly was being used as an adjective not a noun , hence describing a trait of a woman being knightly as in brave or strong or renowned and not saying they were actual knights . uh . sex means in terms of your gender role as a ' man ' or a ' woman ' in society can be quite different cross culturally . We are biologically defined as male or female , but our gender is fluid . Im confronting gender norms and the roles of both genders transforming into something different . Specifically the narrator of the poem is addressing how a man should be an alpha all providing bread winner , while still allowing his partner to have power as well and there is a confusing imbalance there . I don ' t understand your disconnect with progressivetraditional and malefemale . They ' re are traditional views of how sexes are and if you do some research in sociology or gender studies it is pretty evident how roles are shifting . The narrators voice doesn ' t change his view and perspective . It remains consistent , an elaboration how you think the narrator changes his voice ?
