Men's sexuality is mean and violent, and men so powerful that they can reach WITHIN women to

her will, even if she does not feel forced.

Man-hating is everywhere, but everywhere it is twisted and transformed, disguised, tranquilized,

for men. Always man-hating is shadowed by its milder, more diplomatic and doubtful twin,
ambivalence.
