In this age of coed workplaces and two-career couples, supporting women means helping them achieve their goals in and out of the home. Feminists and gays should invite the support of sympathetic het-males, not spread oversimplistic stereotypes against them. To demand that more men behave humanely, you must first acknowledge those men who already do. Besides, without an acknowledgement of a positive role for male yang energy, the Left is bereft of the psychic and emotional means to take charge. Sexual love, whatever the genders of its participants, ought to be about breaking down the walls between souls, not building them up.
Intimate ecstasy is the abandonment of individualistic power trips.
It's the willful sacrifice of cold individualism for the sake of building something stronger. Real lovemaking, particularly real hetero lovemaking, its most spiritual level is about discovering and connecting on every level with a life force outside and different from yourself. And face it, an Egg McMuffin can seem downright tasty at the right time and context. But those who always settle for the most expedient never learn to train their palates. It values sentimentality, the fulfillment of yearning through remembrance of what the heart truly feels.
