Reading "Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things"

The reading is basically about how everyone uses a categorization when it comes to talking, understanding and listening within the world. For example we categorize animal species and even people. Humans also categorize everything in order to make sense of any subject. Therefore, if a system of categorization is changed, the understanding of everything else will change like a ripple in a pond, affect one thing and the rest will be affected one way or another.
