Lailah Gifty Akita quote: If you can desire it, you can behold

“When a culture oppresses women, and all do to one degree or another, it isn't convenient to acknowledge that there are women who like submission in bed or who have fantasies about rape. Masochistic fantasies damage the case for equality, and even when they are seen as the result of a "sick society," the peculiarity of our sexual actions or fantasies is not easily untangled or explained away. The ground from which they spring is simply too muddy. Acts can be controlled, but not desire. Sexual feeling pops up, in spite of our politics.”

“Kant also identified idle desires with wishing and active desire with willing, and he seemed to think that one of the problems of his contemporaries was the confusion between the two. People read novels and allow themselves to become subject to passionate yearnings and be preoccupied by ‘true ideals’ that get in the way of active desires.”

“We are, however, creatures of containment. We want all things in life packed into boxes that we can label. But just because we have the ability to label it, doesn't mean we really know what's in the box. It's kind of religion. It gives us comfort to believe we have defined something that is, by its very nature, indefinable. As to whether or not we've gotten it right, well, it's all a matter of faith.”
