on pleasure and interdependence
"A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle," the Second Wave feminist slogan assured us, but maybe the fact is, well, no. I now think that denial of this need for men for sexual pleasure in straight women's lives was not actually feminist and did not actually help heterosexual women. Obviously, straight women do not need just any man. It is an insult to these women to dismiss their longing for the one they feel is 'the' man, or to decide their morning if he is gone. Nor does this denial of the paradox of our feminine autonomy, coexisting unsettedly with our feminine need for interdependence, help lesbians or bisexual women understand why, so often, the need for the lover is so intense. This ideology does not help women of any sexuality understand why, often, the vibrator and a pint of Häagen-Dazs are pleasurable but that other longings for connections can remain strong. Men, too, find self-knowledge in facing their needs for connection."
Naomi Wolf, in Vagina
addicted to love
"But to respect the central paradox of the female condition — the sexual/emotional need of the Vagina and cervix — might mean that we need to face the fact that women are, in a sense, more easily addicted to love and to good sex with the person who triggers that heady chemical bath, than men are. The work of Dr. Daniel G. Amen, in 'The Brain in Love', along with that of many other neurobiologists whose work has not yet been "translated" into mainstream culture, suggests that some of women's behaviors currently seen as needy or masochistic are in fact better understood as natural and probably evolutionary responses to the brain changes caused by female orgasm. Good sex is, in other words, 'actually' addictive for women biochemically in certain ways that are different from the experience of men — meaning that one experiences discomfort when this stimulus is removed and a craving to secure it again. Bad sex with a selfish or distracted partner — is 'actually' chemically dispiriting and damaging psychologically to women in a way that is different from men's experience."
Naomi Wolf, in Vagina
of critical thinking
"The function of my comedy is not to provide answers, but to postulate questions and therefore, finally, pertinent questions. Not to open doors, merely to unlock them. Not to invade the boundaries of probability but stand a cool guard this side of the boundaries. Somewhere between there's a thesis. To pump up the muscle of dialectic (or in my case Di-Eclectic!) against the brawn of surrealistic solution.
I play not Hamlet, but the second gravedigger, not Lear but the fool."
Marty Feldman, in eyE Marty

A new era of ignorance
“We live in a world of radical ignorance, and the marvel is that any kind of truth cuts through the noise,” says Proctor. Even though knowledge is ‘accessible’, it does not mean it is accessed, he warns.

How Boys Suffer
"Boys and men are supposed to be in control and invulnerable, and when they aren’t, they are ashamed. The shame turns into resentfulness, hate and self-loathing — a toxic brew, especially when guns and social media get into the mix."
But I do hope you can just listen and not let your pride be hurt - your future girlfriends will be grateful!
"Let’s set aside the “women
are equal, we’re in a post-feminism world/sexism is over” bullshit you came up
with. A quick search of a website called Everyday Sexism will prove you wrong.
I could send you 200 articles that disprove this. That’s a side issue! I’m not
saying that in sex, it all has to be gentle lovemaking. There is a time and
place for something a bit harder and faster, of course there is. But you’re not
going to get a girl to enjoy (rather than pretend to enjoy) what you do until
you slow down and tone down the aggression. You must think - I’ve made tons of
girls come! They all loved it! Maybe some did. In fact, with the head-pushing
thing, you cited the old “girls have told me they like that” line. You have to
understand that some women can be passive in bed and will quite often lie or simply
not speak up about what we want. It’s not statistically likely that every woman
who told you she liked to have a dick pushed down her throat was telling you
the truth! Sure, there are moments when women like to get fucked really hard,
but on the whole, we are just getting bad sex from men who bang away for their
own pleasure - it’s a cliché. I appreciated very much the verbal encouragement
and compliments. That felt great! But you also must know it’s yet another porny
behaviour, stolen from dialogue. (“Yeah baby, you suck cock so good, etc.- it’s
like something from a bad movie! I personally rather enjoyed hearing that, so
it’s not at all a problem for me, it was great to hear! But yeah, porno cliché,
lol)"
