The Myth Of Female Inferiority

The best slave
does not need to be beaten
she beats herself.

Not with a leather whip,
or with sticks or twigs,
not with a blackjack
or a billy-club,
but with the fine whip of her own tongue
and the subtle beating
of her mind against her mind.

For who can hate her half as well
as she hates herself?
and who can the finesse
of her self-abuse.

Years of training
are required for this.
