government males affair
For me, the Profumo affair symbolizes the evanescence of male government compared to women's cosmic power.
rose elements flight
Human life began in flight and fear. Religion rose from rituals of propitiation, spells to lull the punishing elements.
anti-liberal should conservatism
My anti-liberal position should not be mistaken for conservatism ...
devil
The Devil is a woman.
may reducing form
Society is a system of inherited forms reducing our humiliating passivity to nature. We may alter these forms, slowly or suddenly, but no change in society will change nature.
mother jesus boys
All men even, I have written, Jesus Christ began as flecks of tissue inside a woman's womb. Every boy must stagger out of the shadow of a mother goddess, whom he never fully escapes.

Eroticism is mystique; that is, the aura of emotion and imagination around sex. It cannot be 'fixed' by codes of social or moral convenience, whether from the political left or right.

fall giving laughing
I want to fall on the floor laughing - imagining Hillary Clinton working well in the Senate with everybody else! Oh, give me a break. I've already joked in print that they would need to build her a private cloakroom on the Mall. This is not a woman who has any ability to deal with the mass of humanity. She is the most arrogant, the most moralistic, the most sermonizing and annoying person on earth....
people choices firsts
Most people aren't sure what's going to happen on a first date. Given that ambiguity, every woman must be totally aware at every moment that she is responsible for every choice she makes. ... protect yourselves. See trouble coming.
female genius
There are no female geniuses because there are no female Jack-the-Rippers.
people may degrees
Very gifted people may be sociopathic in varying degrees.
