An uncomfortable question must be asked here. Women's freedom is played out in a "playground" built - literally - by Western men, belonging to the civilization that perhaps most of all loves its own women. However, when good men, afraid of feminism, give up their role as real protectors, patriarchs, playground supervisors, women become not only vulnerable, but cooperators of their own misfortune and victims of rogue male players free from control. We see it all the time in the news. Newspapers have reported many times about jailed killers receiving thousands love letters. Recently, in Italy a woman was killed by a convicted murderer on parole. She knew he was a murderer, yet she committed adultery with him until the obvious happened. In an Italian hospital, a lead physician had formed an alliance with lovers, happy to belong to the harem, for the rape of other female colleagues, who, in an unsettling way, submitted to sexual abuse for many years without rebelling and reporting them to the police. Abortion too, is often linked to giving oneself unthinkingly to undeserving men. I asked some women several times what was going on in the head of all these other women, but I never got an articulated answer. It seems that in women there is an intimate nucleus of irrationality that they themselves fear to illuminate with the most reasonable part of themselves, or perhaps because they fear that revealing their side of blind, irrational submission (entirely different from the mutual submission of sacramental marriage, which is based on freedom) can be used to enslave or humiliate them.
