To suggest personal will and effort to one all sicklied o'er with the sense of irremediable impotence is to suggest the most impossible of things.

Mahatma Gandhi

Often men's impulses to coerce and degrade women seem to express not a confident assumption of dominance but a desire to retaliate for feelings of rejection, humiliation, and impotence: as many men see it, they need women sexually more than women need them, an intolerable balance of power.
