"One way street" (above) and the female psyche on the pavement.
DHALGREN (1975)/HOGG (1995). There is no such thing as an human "alpha male". Unless one changes into a werewolf at full moon, this an archaism and cultural catachresis. Men are not wolves, sexually, the meanest and beastly ones have become emotional hyenas or lice, the weakest have numbed themselves into monogamy. In fiction, of course, they're detestable hyperboles. Hog(g): "I'm shit," [1], Kid(d): "I am a parasite." [2] Consider there actually were such thing as an alpha male, there'd be hardly an adequate phrase to name him, therefore their speech is constituted by pretentious emasculations and poses, at best confusion. This is culture.
PORNOCRACY (2001)/NIERUCHOMY PORUSZYCIEL (2008)/THE KILLER INSIDE ME (2010). Women have a diathesis for aphanisis which has originally been invented for them anyway. Serial killing has been invented for men. The integrity of body and social character has never quite been our scene. In true life, when you call a man an asshole (the prefix "ass" is quite important here, being a hole requires metaphysical depth men are barely capable of), he believes he's integral and he is because he knows of none otherwise. Gay men abhorring female secretions, slasher monsters in need of dismembering. Freud wrote, they love what they do not desire and when they desire they cannot love. Women, instead, would want sexual schizophrenics, Deleuzian "desiring machines" perpetually breaking down in order to work. Cuddling after rape, incessantly. That a man is an identity in fixed construction is a perpetual nuisance. Nobody ever tells us to "be a woman," and "behave ladylike" has already become a behavioral kynicism. Breillat wrote: "The person who must respond to an expectation doesn't have the free will of the Word. That's what makes men desperately nasty and why we must fear them." [3] Solely in sexual terms, domination and sadism are a myth. Lars von Trier allows his female characters to cut off their clitorises, mutilate a penis, and live among cardboard rapists but it's all their will against permissive idiocy of supine male angels. Nicole Blackman sang: "I want matches in case I have to suddenly burn." [4] Heat and matches. There is this thermostatic remarkability: while men vaporize heat on body surface, women tend to keep their physiological warmth at core organs (hence warm heart, cold feet)- what a fine somatic analogy of sexual genderism.
PORNOGRAPHY: SIDE VIEW. What you see: loud boars, good boys caught unaware by the sublime moment of jouissance, lowbrow and highbrow, subtle and primitive, driven and passive, they're all dumb flesh monumentalizations of something beyond themselves. So are women, acting and performing.
DEADGIRL (2008). Zizek wrote: "Dreams are not for those who cannot stand reality, it's rather that reality is for those who cannot stand their dreams."[5]He also iterated Lacan in that sexual intercourse in its breath-taking intensity and intimacy is real to the point of being traumatic. I like the idea that pornography has been invented for us to realize that the subconscious must think intensely about how wrong it is to fuck a social mortuary of taboos in order for our bodies to enjoy it as a fetish. The wasteland of obstinate fe[male] bodies tamed and drenched from fantasies of cheer[leaders] and home-alone[break-ing] teenage daughters[plumbers] vs libidinal delirium of douche bags[nymphomaniacs]. Ethics for the XXIst century: dead meat of fantasy gnaws deadly and contagiously.
