opening quote:
You have nothing to teach me about ‘love’ if the book from which you take your definitions demands, glorifies or in any way promotes subjugation, suffering, shunning or scapegoat sacrifice.
To call this brand of degradation ‘masochism’ seems unjust. The discerning masochist has the wisdom to use safe words.
