“Delirious as it can be, sex is only one kind of intimacy, and yet has become the cultural catchment area for all kinds of needs because our understanding of intimacy is so poor. Brutal work schedules, related geographic isolation, and the concomitant fracturing of families has meant that there is little time for intimacy, and even less to teach the necessary skills. But intimacy, the axis of romance, is slow, based on the sharing of a life rather than show. In terms of intimacy, folding laundry together or sharing the feeding of a child can have more impact than the most extravagant bouquet.” NeedsKindChildrenLittlesShowsTogetherRomanceSexUnderstandingTermPoorTeachSkillsAreasImpactAll KindsIntimacyRelatedIsolationBrutalSchedulesFeedingLittle TimeLaundryExtravagantAxesBouquetsFoldingDelirious Author:Antonella Gambotto-Burke

“We have restricted humans from giving 'free' food to bears and dolphins because we know that such feeding would make them dependent and lead to their extinction. But when it comes to our own species, we have difficulty seeing the connection between short-term kindness and long-term cruelty; we give women money to have more children, making them more dependent with each child and discouraging them from developing the tools to fend for themselves. The real discrimination against women, then, is 'free feeding'.” KnowsGivingHumansChildrenLongRealTermKindnessSeeingBearsToolsConnectionsDifficultySpeciesDiscriminationCrueltyDevelopingLong TermDependentFeedingExtinctionShort TermDiscouragingDolphinsFree Food Book:The Myth of Male Power: Why Men Are the Disposable Sex Source: The Myth of Male Power: Why Men Are the Disposable Sex
