“An intelligent couple can read their Darwin and know that the ultimate reason for their sexual urges is procreation. They know that the woman cannot conceive because she is on the pill. Yet they find that their sexual desire is in no way diminished by the knowledge. Sexual desire is sexual desire and its force, in an individual's psychology, is independent of the ultimate Darwinian pressure that drove it. It is a strong urge which exists independently of its ultimate rationale.” KnowsWayReasonDesireIndividualStrongForcePsychologyCoupleUltimatePressureIntelligentIndependentUrgesPillsProcreationRationaleSexual Desire Book:The God Delusion Source: The God Delusion
“Our "society" is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units. Desperately insecure, fearing his woman will leave him if she's exposed to other men or to anything remotely resembling life, the male seeks to isolate her from other men and from what little civilization there is, so he moves her out to the suburbs, a collection of self-absorbed couples and their kids. Isolation, further, enables him to try to maintain his pretense of being an individual by being a "rugged individualist", a loner, equating non-co-operation and solitariness with individuality.” IfsMenTryingLittlesSelfKidsMovingIndividualCommunityCoupleCivilizationMalesIndividualityOperationsIsolationCollectionsOur SocietyExposedIsolatedUnitsInsecurePretenseSuburbsLonerSelf AbsorbedRuggedFamily Unit Author:Valerie Solanas
“A true community consists of individuals - not mere species members, not couples - respecting each others individuality and privacy while at the same time interacting with each other mentally and emotionally - free spirits in free relation to each other - and co-operating with each other to achieve common ends. Traditionalists say the basic unit of "society" is the family; "hippies" say the tribe; noone says the individual.” EndsSpiritIndividualCommunityCommonAchieveCoupleMembersRelationMereSpeciesIndividualityPrivacyUnitsTribesHippieFree SpiritInteractingScum Author:Valerie Solanas
