  malgosia - Well, let's see now.  What about archaic-libertine proposals made by women?

Chas.-  Is your question will archaic-libertine proposals made by women tighten the lid on the very powerful taboo-complex I describe in the rest of what I said ? If so, my answer is probably not as much as when proposed by men, because of my reasoning that sexual repression is primarily rooted in male chauvinism.  Are you saying that if women proposed utopian brothels would it tighten the lid, etc., that's a difference kettle of fish, however, you are going to have to bring me some programmatic statement from an actual group of women proposing this. And more, the overall opinion of the masses of women on the proposal must be considered. We don't want any tyrannies of the minority.

 malagosia -Or is this an impossible thought, incompatible with your revolutionary
respect, passion and love for that entire sex, which, as everyone knows,
is uniformly pure, sweet and tender, much like freshly-picked corn?

 Chas.- Not an impossible thought; see my first answer.
     Why do you think respect, passion and love for an entire group is difficult ?
Doesn't misogyny exist ? Isn't that hate for a women in general ? Why can't love of women in general exist ? Doesn't racism , hate of a group in general, millions and millions of people, exist ? I love Black people as a group. Do you doubt that ?  Then you don't know me. And every single Black person is pure, sweet and tender, much like a luscious black berry.
     Didn't you see where I said little girls are sugar and spice and everything nice ?
      Also, this respect, passion and love FOR women is to be achieved, not accomplished yet. Sort of like communism or an essential part of communism.
       And guess what I have do not hesitate to say that I am looking for respect, passion and love back.
     Hey what about humanism ? Do you think it a wild goose chase to try to respect, etc humanity as a whole ?
