I both so agree with you and also, also... It is a kind of power, but it is not a simple power, nor one that actually gives us real power to do things as people in the world (being an exotic other isn't real power, its having the power of men's idealization, which is something else). As you say, they resent it, and they blame us for it...when it is their desire that they blame us for...and, and, chastity belts, their want of us is the reason for all the oppression and fear and violence that they do against us. They punish us because they want us...because it makes them feel weak, and needy and vulnerable, and things they think they are not supposed to feel because they are men. Desire is a scary thing, its a scary thing for all human beings...but they cannot take the repsonsibility for their own want, and make it our business, and with that comes a whole tsunami of fuckree. This is one of the reasons I like Prince, he was strong enough to say 'I want you. I'm not scared of it. Do you want me? (and, yknow, I know the fact I'm not scared makes me hot as fuck so yeah, you kind of do don't you?' *coquettish smile*) not, 'I'm really mad at you for making me want you and it makes me feel weak and emasculated and so I'm going to be a dominating jerk about it.' Not like I love my guitar.... | |

This is one of the reasons I like Prince, he was strong enough to say 'I want you. I'm not scared of it. Do you want me? (and, yknow, I know the fact I'm not scared makes me hot as fuck so yeah, you kind of different don't you?' *coquettish smile*) not, 'I'm really mad at you for making me want you and it makes me feel weak and emasculated and so I'm going to be a dominating jerk about it.' I have no desire for the power that men possess in this world. I'm satisfied to use my power over them to convince them to use their power in the world on my behalf. I don't like getting my hands dirty. And since their bodies are better suited to toil in the world...and it gives them great pleasure to do so, why take that from them? (Read Katerina's final speech in Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew.) Being domineering isn't the same as being a Dominant, in the same way that having the ability or the desire to submit is not the same as being a submissive. It takes a strong intellect to recognize the difference. True power allows quiet and stillness in the knowledge of innate strength. After all, lions don't have to tell everyone that they're a lion...they simply are. | |

Stunning. I had it on a cassette tape b4 the official release. Wore that tape out. It's like a dream, muddy & thick. "All the poets & the part time singers..." "2 words falling between the drops..."
