The Hurting Of Women Is . .

Under Patriarchy, Every Woman's Son Is Her Potential Betrayer And Also The Inevitable Rapist Or Exploiter Of Another Woman.

Pornography Incarnates Male Supremacy. It Is The Dna Of Male Dominance. Every Rule Of Sexual Abuse, Every Nuance Of Sexual Sadism, Every Highway And Byway Of Sexual Exploitation, Is Encoded In It.

Genocide Begins, However Improbably, In The Conviction That Classes Of Biological Distinction Indisputably Sanction Social And Political Discrimination.

So You Go Away From Where You Were Afraid. Some Stay; Some Go; It's A Big Difference, Leaving The Humiliations Of Childhood, The Morbid Fear. We Didn't Have Much To Say To Each Other, The Ones That Left And The Ones That Stayed. Children Get Shamed By Fear But You Can't Tell The Adults That; They Don't Care. They Make Children Into Dead Things Like They Are. If There's Something Left Alive In You, You Run. You Run From The Poor Little Child On Her Knees; Fear Burned The Skin Off All Right; She's Still On Her Knees, Dead And Raw And Tender.
