Sumario:This present article analyses the conflicts marked by gender asymmetry in the story “Eu e Jimmy” written by Clarice Lispector. To draw some reflections about the (i)materiality of the text, the said and unsaid, the discourses that run and move within the tale, as regards gender relations, we start from the binary mark and oppositional male/female and as well as a family experience of a woman who watched, since childhood, her mother following the ideas of an imperious and serious father, being this woman herself, once learned male supremacy, a follower of the ideas of boyfriends and men in general.
