Fearing Intimacy

My work is lecturing and writing about pornography, child sexual abuse in battering situations, and other areas of female sexual slavery. I live two truths all the time: I live in a male-supremacist culture, yet I have a relationship with a man who is not a sexist. I used to feel that to bea totally strong woman and a feminist I should be alone, and I would feel guilty for having this real partner who loves me and helps me, whom I love and trust and depend on. But now I think, Why not just enjoy the especial life I have and not worry about how I "should" be?

Taken from "Our Bodies, Ourselves: For The New Century"(1998)
