    🔮Hidden Depths
    💡Learnt A Lot

    The chapter of Male Sexuality is illuminating, the chapter regarding Male Spirit is rather obscure and a low point for me. All in all, a rather good read with lots of bits to re-read and ponder about.

Quotes

  • em 💌has quoted6 months ago
    No wonder then that male rage is often most directed at women in intimate relationships. Such relationships clearly trigger for many males the anger and rage they felt in childhood when their mothers did not protect them or ruthlessly severed emotional bonds in the name of patriarchy.

    so much of this is in poor taste and is so scapegoaty good lord

  • em 💌has quoted6 months ago
    Whenever women thinkers, especially advocates of feminism, speak about the widespread problem of male violence, folks are eager to stand up and make the point that most men are not violent. They refuse to acknowledge that masses of boys and men have been programmed from birth on to believe that at some point they must be violent, whether psychologically or physically, to prove that they are men.

    It was as though he felt that I was too powerful, and that perception empowered him to challenge that power, to wound and hurt.
