Irigaray's "Sexual Difference"

The readings of Luce Irigaray is slightly different in that her text take a more matter-of-fact approach to the social difference between men and women in their respective texts.
In Irigaray's "Sexual Differences", she states towards the end of her argument: "Who or what the other is, I never know. But this unknowable other is that which differs sexually from me. This feeling of wonder, surprise and astonishment in the face of unknowable ought to be returned to it's proper place: the realm of sexual difference." (P. 238). What I get from this text is that Irigaray believes that the differences between men and women are more or less irreconcilable, as one would never know what the other experiences throughout their respective lives. It basically takes the whole "women are better than men" argument that many feminists seem to make and pretty much destroys it, as Irigaray is saying that it's not a matter of who's better than who, it's a matter of how they are both different, as there is no biologically possible way to have a neutral ground in this matter. The last two sentences of the reading seems to go along with this notion that no gender is better than the other: "Once sex is never entirely consumated or consumed by another. There is always a residue." (P. 238). The idea that there are differences between men and women that will always drive us apart, but at the same time, bring us together is emphasized through this last portion of her argument and I concur, as I feel as if this is the ultimate reality behind the ongoing battle of the sexes.
