Susie Bright, for one, can easily tell you that she has experienced what Kalven speaks of. So can I. So can millions of women, not all of whom are professional dominatrixes. Testosterone is the chemical behind sex drives, both in men and women. It's also behind aggression and assertive behavior. The whole concept of rape and sex and love is tied into issues of power and trust.
Love involves giving oneself to someone, male or female, freely and without reserve.
Rape involves taking another's essence without their consent. The later Love, much like the later Byrds, is a greatly underappreciated band that in many ways surpassed its earlier incarnation. They were more consistent and were better musicians. Elder's article would have been a great place to right the injustice that has been done to the later band. All rights reserved.
