What Is The Natural Reaction When Told

In Many Patriarchies, Language, As Well As Cultural Tradition, Reserve The Human Condition For The Male. With The Indo-european Languages This Is A Nearly Inescapable Habit Of Mind, For Despite All The Customary Pretense That 'man' And 'humanity' Are Terms Which Apply Equally To Both Sexes, The Fact Is Hardly Obscured That In Practice, General Application Favors The Male Far More Often Than The Female As Referent, Or Even Sole Referent, For Such Designations.

To Be A Rebel Is Not To Be A Revolutionary. It Is More Often By A Way Of Spinning One's Wheels Deeper In Sand.

The Rationale Which Accompanies That Imposition Of Male Authority Euphemistically Referred To As 'the Battle Of The Sexes' Bears A Certain Resemblance To The Formulas Of Nations At War, Where Any Heinousness Is Justified On The Grounds That The Enemy Is Either An Inferior [part Of The] Species Or Really Not Human At All.

With The First Act Of Cruelty Committed In The Name Of Revolution, With The First Murder, With The First Purge And Execution, We Have Lost The Revolution.

One Of The Blessings Of Adulthood Is That One Is No Longer Addressed As A Thing.
