Annhilation in love ?

Post by Van Canna »

Romantic love, in pornography as in life, is the mythic celebration of female negation.

For a woman, love is defined as her willingness to submit to her own annihilation. …

The proof of love is that she is willing to be destroyed by the one whom she loves, for his sake.

For the woman, love is always self-sacrifice, the sacrifice of identity, will, and bodily integrity, in order to fulfill and redeem the masculinity of her lover.

Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946), U.S. feminist critic.

So what's the view of modern woman!!

It is interesting to note that Ms. Dworkin sought out and volunarily worked in that particular industry that is known as "adult entertainment"... her feminist ideals were realized about the same point in her "career" that she was no longer deemed to be, ahem, desired by the camera...
