What does jimmy mean when he said she is dropping their weapon. what does weapon mean in that dialogue? and the second in this sentence "those primitive hand". for whom those primitive hand refer?thank you..
Jimmy is referring to the things, "weapons", that women drop while at their dressers. He is referring to items like brushes and combs that women use to change or "beautify" themselves. Jimmy thinks women actually maul themselves in the process of looking good. He compares women at their mirrors to a "dirty Arab" cutting open a sheep. He also believes that women aren't delicate. they could not be surgeons because they have such "primitive heavy hands."
