Abstract
This paper explores the nature of women's extension in rigorous conversational settings, such as an academic or professional settings. Even in a society where women have more educational and economic opportunities than ever before, there remains the concerning phenomena of women not extending themselves in conversation in the way that men do. The author contends that women's minds exist within the embodied experience of being female, and therefore of being objectified, because the imagination is subject to similar disciplinary measures as Bartky identifies as disciplining the female body.

Inhibited intentionality and the docile imaginations of women
This paper explores the nature of women's extension in rigorous conversational settings, such as an academic or professional settings. Even in a society where women have more educational and economic opportunities than ever before, there remains the concerning phenomena of women not extending themselves in conversation in the way that men do. The author contends that women's minds exist within the embodied experience of being female, and therefore of being objectified, because the imagination is subject to similar disciplinary measures as Bartky identifies as disciplining the female body.
