(We know that we will > probably never be lovers for this and other similar reasons.) She has to make him mad enough to hit her before his sexual affections can be engaged? One seldom sees so bald a statement of the connection between sex and violence, or so blatant an assignment of the responsibility for male sexual violence to the female against whom it is directed. No wonder Randwulf has no sympathy for victims. Did this statement make sense to other male subscribers to net.women? Is Randwulf's "crazy act" closer to reality than he may think, or is he just more honest? Roberta Taussig Tektronix ..!decvax!tektronix!tekmdp!roberta ..!ucbvax!tektronix!tekmdp!roberta
