Serious question, Holden: would you say that you have the capacity to respect women individually as a basic tenet of an enlightened society or are women to serve as helpmeets to their menfolk? My point is, are women defined by their relationships with men, or by their worth as individuals?
I interpreted that as a woman doesn't get a say in...anything really. Like the man decides who drives the car, what they have for dinner, what colour to paint the walls, everything. The woman is only meant to smile and nod and say yes dear and do the dishes after cooking the dinner, that kinda stuff.
Basically I think @Holden wants the 40's.
I think Lalala, positing your position, has answered my question, Holden. 'Cause you didn't. Women are defined by their relationship to a stratified male social web and are cast into their roles independently of any individual value whatsoever. Men are men, unless they are rapeapes, and women are arbitrarily cast into roles depending on their ability to remain chaste, downtrodden, defined by the gaze of the other, soulless fuckholes. Pardon my French.
what if I don't want that? What if I want a relationship defined by a woman's individuality? By her ability to be herself, have dreams, wants, hopes, aspirations, yearnings, a sense of self, strength, intelligence, care, courage, etc., & etc. I don't want a fucktoy. I don't want a predefined anything. It's plain nasty. Do you see where I am coming from?
