| Submission to dominance as a gift to him. |
A truly baffling belief is Anne Desclos' assertion: "A truly submissive woman is to be treasured, cherished and protected for it is only she who can give a man the gift of dominance." It runs counter to the claims and cries of Western women. I guess many white women have not lost attachment to their terror of their men's propensity to kill them with aplomb! I am recalling the Inquisition period of European history! This is baffling, and why there is a distinction between the African and the white versions of freedom; this one stark contrast.
She projects into, I believe, into the psyche from Europe's history that fundamentally believed in the subjugation of thoughtful women contributing their gifts to their cultures and infusing power into their lives. African and other women indigenous to their lands cannot forget white women have been chattel to their men for most of their centuries. It means, in translation, there is a leaning, a longing to return to their feudal system of old within their DNA! The question to that is why should we return to where we have never been, and do not come from?
