Unmastered: A Book on Desire, Most Difficult to Tell | Katherine Angel

Current read. Every page offers something fresh - a reflection, consideration. I am loving it. P22 “as Virginia Woolf well knew, “killing the angel in the house was part of the occupation of a woman writer.” The violence was necessary; without it, that Angel - sympathetic, charming, unselfish (if there was a chicken she would take the leg; if there was a draft she‘d sit in it) - would have plucked the heart out of my writing.”

The Tragedy of Heterosexuality | Jane Ward

pick

There were so many points in this book that were ah-ha moments, and then once I thought about them they shouldn‘t have been. It‘s obvious. We just don‘t think about them because this is what movies, fairytales, and society have sold us - especially women - from birth. This is a real discussion starter.

GingerAntics If the conversations this book starts make you uncomfortable, it‘s time to evaluate why you‘re uncomfortable instead of writing this off as radical or feminist or woke. #JaneWard #TheTragedyOfHeterosexuality #audiobook #discussionstarter 6d

jewright I‘m listening to Jesus and John Wayne right now. I‘m wondering if this book has similar topics. 6d

The Tragedy of Heterosexuality | Jane Ward

This seems so obvious, and yet it‘s just not true for A LOT of men. I‘m certainly not saying every man, but the loudest, most vocal, most powerful men certainly. Not to mention all the men who look up to those men as the ideal of manhood and masculinity.

TheBookHippie A man attaches himself to woman - not to enjoy her, but to enjoy himself.

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie she was actually comparing heterosexual ideals to queer ones. That in heterosexual culture it‘s about what is most pleasurable to the man, not is pleasurable for the woman, ever. In queer culture it‘s how much pleasure a body can experience. Full stop. She was baffled by a survey where every straight man said sex was over when he came. She said “I can‘t imagine sex with my wife being over just because either of us came.” 🤣😂🤣 6d

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie basically, the whole books can be boiled down to “straight men think they are entitled to sex” and “heterosexuals, are you okay?” 6d

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics exactly. Men think sex is for them. That‘s it. Women are an object to achieve it whether they want it or not. 6d

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie yup! I loved this book. It was just a little snarky, just a little funny, but very poignant and important. 6d

More marriage self help nonsense.
My knee jerk reaction: no wonder men need porn if that‘s what it takes to turn them on. 🙄🥃🥃

GingerAntics This book just ruined Who‘s the Boss, too. 🤦🏼‍♀️🥃🤯 7d

Butterfinger McClintock (John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara) was awful. The movie made it seem she fell back in love with him after he "spanked" her with a metal coal shovel(I don't know the name). My parents loved that movie, and I remember saying, not my husband. I also remember thinking-is this why my daddy knocks my mom around? Is this normal? We also watched the Honeymooners. 6d

GingerAntics @Butterfinger oh my god, I am so sorry! No little kid should ever have to ask those questions. It‘s truly disturbing what we put on television and let kids think is normal, or even just question the normalcy of. I swear, I hear there is a spanking scene in something and usually I‘m out. I just can‘t do it. Too much emotional and psychological crap of my own to even try to bring that into entertainment. 6d

WHAT THE ACTUAL FLYING 🤬?!
Sadly, given the state of affairs between men and women these days, I think this has just become the quiet part we don‘t actually say out loud. “Men‘s latent cruelty in courtship and women‘s receptivity to pain and domination as core heterosexual impulses.”

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat I‘ll be honest, this shouldn‘t be as mind blowing to me as it was. It‘s so obvious, but it‘s not a thing we think about… because we are taught to NOT think about it. This is why men like women who don‘t think to begin with. 7d

AlaSkaat That‘s so interesting. Is this talking about actually liking women as people? It‘s so true that so many men who love women actually hate women. 7d

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat that is precisely what this book is talking about. 7d

quietlycuriouskate Ooof! 7d

GingerAntics @quietlycuriouskate yeah, when it‘s all laid out, it‘s really obvious and it‘s stunningly troubling. 6d
