“There’s a reason they say, ‘It’s the pits,’ when all we are left with are the ragged seed kernels that were once surrounded and amply engulfed by life’s sustaining fruit.
Sex is the main issue.
A woman may have a higher form of love – that which appreciates her – if she finds herself with either a eunuch or homosexual man of status who craves societal acceptance and comfort without chastisement.
Or, she must be of a certain youthful age and as yet untarnished, whereupon her “cherry” shall be plucked and consumed by an older man at his whim (likely not to her pleasure) whom she is pressured to marry with very little emotional, spiritual, or physical compensation – except perhaps physical security and assurances of providence for the resultant offspring.
Or, as in the most common ‘arrangements,’ she must suffer the debased assaultations of either one or more uneducated and unwashed louts determined to keep her beneath him/them in a state of relegated survival dependence.
Only in the rarest of circumstances will ‘stars align,’ allowing two well-matched-in-love partners to find each other…and even then, if they are capable of being ‘true,’ society unleashes its wolves upon them to ensure that their love cannot propagate.”
