Feminism requires precisely what patriarchy destroys in women: unimpeachable bravery in confronting male power

Feminism exists so that no woman ever has to face her abuser in isolation, alone.

Male dominance in society always means that out of public sight, in the private, ahistorical world of men with women, men are sexually dominating women.

A man can be a hero if he is a scientist, or a soldier, or a drug addict, or a disc jockey, or a crummy mediocre politician. A man can be a hero because he suffers and despairs; or because he thinks logically and analytically; or because he is "sensitive"; or because he is cruel. Wealth establishes a man as a hero, and so does poverty. Virtually any circumstance in a man's life will make him a hero to some group of people and has a mythic rendering in the culture - in literature, art, theater, or the daily newspapers.

The tragedy is that women so committed to survival cannot recognize that they are committing suicide.

How can anyone love someone who is less than a full person, unless love itself is domination per se?

Wild intelligence abhors any narrow world; and the world of women must stay narrow, or the woman is an outlaw. No woman could be Nietzsche or Rimbaud without ending up in a whorehouse or lobotomized.
