Black Flag on pedestalization:
Quote:Quote:
Women don’t want to *be* on the pedestal, Tyrone. They hate it there. But no, men cannot understand that and must be forever chaining them up on one and using love to keep them from escaping. They use it and use it until it’s all used up, and then it’s all the woman’s fault because she is “heartless.” Never in all his hurt does a man pause to consider what he has ruined.
"The great secret of happiness in love is to be glad that the other fellow married her." – H.L. Mencken
