The Beast on Woman Worship

[arisbe]

"Not that women themselves are unclean; it is the worship of them as ideals that rots the soul." Uncle Al Crowley in defense of sodomy, quoted by realimposter.

Ah, the poor man! Was the Victorian ideal of womanhood, at least at the time he wrote this, the only one he had seen? We are truly fortunate to be better situated!

As may be obvious from that quote, Crowley was bi. The idolization of women remains in much of our culture, dehumanizing both the "whores" who fail to match the image and the "angels" who seem to. I don't know how useful sodomy is as a deprogramming device, but something is called for.
