I hope this quote makes sense to you cause it hits close to home for me and i would never explain it right ,I havent had enough coffee yet,lol
"The whip is good for us," she said. "perhaps it is hard for you to understand that, as your are not a woman. It makes our womanhood a hundred times more meaningful. The essential point here is not being whipped, of course, which hurts, but being subject to the whip, and being truly subject to it. You see the distinction, I am sure. We know that men are by nature sovereign over us, That comprehension requires no great insight. Accordingly, men must then either fulfill their nature, or deny it, and in denying their nature, deny us ours, for ours is the complement to theirs. Accordingly we despise men who surrender their natural sovereignty. Surely we would not beso stupid, would not be such weaklings and fools as to do that, if we were men. It would be too valuable and glorious a thing to give up. Its surrender would be a tragedy. But we are not men! We are women, and want, truly, everythingthing in our hearts and bellies, to be women, and we cannot be wtrulyturly if men aretrulyturly men! Lay down the whip, and we will attack you, and undermine you, and use your laws, institutions and rhetorics to destroy you, inch by inch. Lift it, and we will lick our feet in gratitude. Own us, dominate us! Enslave us, properly, so that we may love you as a women are meant to love, wholly irreservedly , totally, without a thought for ourselves!" JN
edited to add, i bolded the crucial part*
