As I See It, Our Revolutionary Task

Erotica Is Simply High-class Pornography; Better Produced, Better Conceived, Better Executed, Better Packaged, Designed For A Better Class Of Consumer.

Institutionalised In Sports, The Military, Acculturated Sexuality, The History And Mythology Of Heroism, Violence Is Taught To Boys Until They Becomes Its Advocates.

How Can Anyone Love Someone Who Is Less Than A Full Person, Unless Love Itself Is Domination Per Se?

Every Woman Who Has Had Experience With Sexual Violence Of Any Kind Has Not Just Pain, And Not Just Hurt, But Has Knowledge. Knowledge Of Male Supremacy. Knowledge Of What It Is. Knowledge Of What It Feels Like. And Can Begin To Think Strategically About How To Stop It. We Are Living Under A Reign Of Terror. Now What I Want To Say Is That I Want Us To Stop Accepting That That's Normal. And The Only Way That We Can Stop Accepting That That's Normal Is If We Refuse To Have Amnesia Everyday Of Our Lives.

In This Society, The Norm Of Masculinity Is Phallic Aggression. Male Sexuality Is, By Definition, Intensely And Rigidly Phallic. A Man's Identity Is Located In His Conception Of Himself As The Possessor Of A Phallus; A Man's Worth Is Located In His Pride In Phallic Identity. The Main Characteristic Of Phallic Identity Is That Worth Is Entirely Contingent On The Possession Of A Phallus. Since Men Have No Other Criteria For Worth, No Other Notion Of Identity, Those Who Do Not Have Phalluses Are Not Recognized As Fully Human.
