What it comes down to is this: through the use of drugs, through sexual living out, through radical political action, we broke through the bourgeois mental sets which were our inheritance but retained the humanism crucial to the liberalism of our parents.
We are, at least in our Amerikan manifestation, white, children o f privilege, children of liberals and reformists. We were brought up in pretty, clean homes, had lots of privacy, friends, companionship from family and peers. We are unbelievably well educated—we went to fine suburban schools (mostly public) where we experienced physical and intellectual regimentation which we found unbearable; we went to the best colleges and universities (mostly private)
We are the survivors of Flower Power, now adult, with our own children. We are the tribes of Woodstock Nation, now in Diaspora, roaming the whole earth. We are the New Left, wounded, in disarray.
This is worse and more misogynist than Twilight
O’s prostitution is a vicious caricature of old-world religious prostitution. T h e ancient sacral prostitution of the Hebrews, Greeks, Indians, et al., was the ritual expression of respect and veneration for the powers of fertility and generation. T h e priestesses/prostitutes o f the temple were literal personifications o f the life energy of the earth goddess, and transferred that energy to those who participated in her rites. The cosmic princi ples, articulated as divine male and divine female, were ritually united in the temple because clearly only through their continuing and repeated union could the fertility of the earth and the well-being of a people be ensured. Sacred prostitution was “nothing less than an act of communion with god (or godhead) and was as remote from sensuality as the Christian act of communion is remote from gluttony.” 8 O and all of the women at Roissy are distinguished by their sterility and bear no resemblance whatsoever to any known goddess. No mention is ever made of conception or menstruation, and procreation is never a consequence of fucking. O’s fertility has been rendered O. There is nothing sacred about O’s prostitution.

To prop up your damn nonsense opinions of actual sex work… I swear to god I’ll visit hell just to throw your own damn book at you
She makes Freudian dream logic leaps constantly though
She ignores the fact that the wicked stepmother is a bowdlerization, these figures were originally just mothers, the good dead passive woman is an artifact of censorship
