“Pornography reveals that male pleasure is inextricably tied to victimizing, hurting, exploiting; that sexual fun and sexual passion in the privacy of the male imagination are inseparable from the brutality of male history. The private world of sexual dominance that men demand as their right and their freedom is the mirror image of the public world of sadism and atrocity that men consistently and self-righteously deplore. It is in the male experience of pleasure that one finds the meaning of male history.” MenWorldSelfPassionFunImaginationHurtPleasureDemandMirrorsMalesPrivacyTiedConsistentlyPornographyBrutalityInseparableDominanceAtrocitiesSadismMirror Image Book:Pornography: men possessing women Source: Pornography: men possessing women

“You know, we have moments of passion when we are in pain. And then of course the moment ends, and with it the passion and the pain, and we forgive and forget. But I think that every time you hurt somebody that you care for, a crack appears in your relationship, a little weakening - and it stays there, dangerous, waiting for the next opportunity to open up and destroy everything.” ThinkingKnowsLittlesEndsMomentsCarePainPassionCoursesNextOpportunityWaitingHurtForgetDangerousForgivingCracksOur RelationshipWeakeningForgive And Forget Author:Edith Hahn Beer

“Live with it. You live with pleasure, don't you? Why don't you live with suffering completely? Can you live with it in the sense of not escaping from it? What takes place? Watch. The mind is very clear, sharp. It is faced with the fact. The very suffering transformed into passion is enormous. From that arises a mind that can never be hurt. Full stop.

“A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we ever do evil, that good may come of it... It is as great presumption to send our passions upon God's errands, as to palliate them with God's name... We are too ready to retailiate, rather than forgive, or gain by love and information. And yet we could hurt no man that we believe loves us. Let us try then what Love will do: for if men did once see we love them, we should soon find they would not harm us. Force may subdue, but Love gains: and he that forgives first, wins the laurel.” IfsMenShouldTryingFirstsBelieveMayMeanEndsPassionEvilWinningNamesForceHurtInformationReadyGainsForgivingHarmPresumptionLaurelsBelieve In LoveSanctifyErrands Author:William Penn
