Proselytising, wriggling, and ranting

"The Ragged Trousers Philanthropists suggest how much worse it is to be a man of principle trapped in the same system, to know with dreadful clarity what is oppressing and wasting you, but to be powerless to do anything about it, except proselytise and wriggle and rant."


Andy Miller (2014), The Year of Reading Dangerously: How Fifty Great Books (and Two Not-So-Great Ones) Saved my Life, London, Fourth Estate: 59.

Patriarchy makes us mad, bad, and sad

"While men and women do not differ in the frequency with which they experience anger, women experience more intense anger than men, and once angered, women are more likely to talk about their anger whereas men are more likely to use substances (Schieman, 2006; Simon &Lively, 2010). Simon and Lively (2010) argued that the more intense and persistent anger of women compared to men may contribute to women’s high rate of depression . Examining a national sample of respondents, they found an association between intense and persistent anger and greater depression for  women." Jan E. Stets (2012), "Current Emotion Research in Sociology: Advances in the Discipline", Emotion Review , 4(3): 330.

"Le recours aux vertus politiques ''féminines'' permet d'évacuer de la revendication paritaire toute dimension conflictuelle: l'accent mis sur l'apport spécifique des femmes à la vie politique et leur complémentarité objective avec les hommes conduit à une euphémisation des rapports de pouvoir entre les sexes, présentés comme d'éternels partenaires.

So why does love hurt? And why does it hurt women disporoportionately more than men?

I do not agree with the way Illouz talks of the 'seduction' love exercizes on women in the last excerpt hereunder. I think it is the legacy of most of pre-modern history, through which Western women were not left much choice as to the sphere of life they wanted to express themselves in. It is not that they were particularly 'seduced' by love, it is just that they were relegated to it. Love was socially constructed as a 'female' domain, in which they had to thrive and to invest, lest they be branded ugly, masculine or spinsters (the hidden and common theme of these three patriarchal scarecrows being of course heternormativity, with its correlates of lesbo- and transphobia). And the same goes for the domestic sphere and care. Although it seems that Illouz falls here into what she denounces throughout the book (the making of social phenomena into individual struggles and responsibilities), I still find her observations enlightening.  "Precisely because we...
