 " All of the times I’ve had sex I didn’t want to have, not because the other person forced me into it but because it was a narrative I had become used to playing out. 

I thought that I was only hurting myself, but now I see that I was hurting others too, that the wrong lies not only in forcefulness but, sometimes, in withholding an answer. The bad habits it has taught me take me to the edge of an unthinkable precipice." Anon.

The conversations we don't have are too important to keep away from. Wu must speak. We must not hide from the face of our dark sides. We have too many women and men that are produced by the system of gender abuse and intollerance. We must not let women who defend themselves from monsters be treated like monsters. and we must work hardeer to avoid producing and manufacturing monsters through how we teach boys to become "men,' whatever being a man is. The dynamics between Men and Women, not even to mention transgendered people, is sick, broken and sickening. It produces pathologies so that someone else capitalizes. The Medical System of the world: psychology, pharmacology, prison etc are all kept strong by pathological people. These institutions would lose clout if healthier, more stable people were produced. Even if we have instability (for it is natural too) we need to have communities that are sympathetic to these people and maximize their utility. Schizophrenics have a use. Epileptics have a use. There is a place for people of all kinds of abilities. And we must fashion communities that are aware of this. Produce less pathologies and inculcate creatively those that need sympathy and care. Imprisoning and terminally medicating is not the way.
